The Asia Cup 2025 promo released by Sony Sports raised questions after Pakistan not featured in the promotional poster. The Asia Cup 2025 scheduled to be held in September in T20 format, ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The Asia Cup 2025 poster includes captains from India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh but excludes any representation from Pakistan. The absence led to speculation about whether Pakistan would participate in the tournament. The Asia Cup 2025 promo aired during India vs England Test coverage further fueled the debate.
There has been no official announcement from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) or the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) about Pakistan’s withdrawal or exclusion from the tournament.
India holds official hosting rights for the Asia Cup 2025, but political issues may result in the tournament being played at a neutral venue such as the UAE. The BCCI has not issued any indication of excluding any teams, including Pakistan, from the tournament.
No official squad announcements or scheduling details released yet. The ACC expected to finalize the venue and confirm participation from all member nations soon.
Until formal confirmation, the omission of Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 promo remains unverified in terms of actual participation. Both ACC and PCB have yet to provide clarity.
