Naqvi’s disputed statement

Significantly, Mohsin Naqvi is the Home Minister of Pakistan as well as PCB president. He is considered notorious for anti -India rhetoric. Recently, he made a fierce remarks against India even after Operation Sindoor. Because of this, he got caught up to join hands with the Indian captain.

Fans’ anger

It cannot be tolerated at all.” Another user said, “The dignity of the country is more important than cricket diplomacy.”

The Cricket Asia Cup is scheduled to match India vs Pakistan on 14 September. Earlier, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh said that ‘blood and water cannot flow together, why do we (Pakistan) give them so much importance?’ Talking to Times of India, Harbhajan said that we can leave a cricket match and this is not a big deal.

In an interview to Times of India, Harbhajan Singh said, “He needs to understand what is necessary for him and what is not. For me, the soldiers of our country who stand on the border, their family who do not see them many times, they are instigated, they are not able to return home. They are able to return so big for all of us. So we cannot leave a very small thing.

What did Harbhajan Singh say about IND vs Pak match in Asia Cup

Harbhajan Singh further said, “Our government also has the same attitude that blood and water cannot flow together. It cannot be that the fight on the border, tension between the two countries and we go to play cricket matches with them until these big issues are resolved, cricket is a very small thing. The country is always a very small thing. The country is always a very small thing. Whether our identity is from the country, whether there are players, actor or any other. Playing is a very modest thing. “

Harbhajan further said, “Our brothers are standing on the outskirts, who are protecting us, protecting our country. Look at them, how big they have stood there with a big heart. And what passed on his family when he does not come back home. And we go to play cricket.”

Asia Cup 2025 can be 3 times IND vs pak match

Sanju Samson made his debut in international cricket in 2015, but he did not get a continuous opportunity. He kept getting inside the team, sometimes after 1 or 2 matches, he had to be out of the team. Talking about this in an interview with Ashwin, he told how Gautam Gambhir saved his career. What was his conversation with Suryakumar Yadav and when he flopped in Gambhir’s coaching, what did the coach say to him and how confident.

In the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, Sanju Samson got an opportunity to open, he also impressed a lot. When Ashwin questioned Samson on his YouTube channel, the wicket-keeper batsman replied, “I kept going inside the team in my career, I was able to play only close to 15 matches in 8-9 years. I would have been in the team, sometimes outside, sometimes outside but I always extended myself with a positive mind. After the World Cup, there was a sudden change after the World Cup.

Samson told that Suryakumar Yadav told me during the Dalip Trophy, Suryakumar Yadav told me that there is a big opportunity for you, you will get constant opportunities in the next 7 matches. But then Samson became disappointed due to being dismissed for zero in 2 matches. He felt that now he would be thrown out of the team once again.

Gautam Gambhir said this to Sanju Samson

Disappointed due to being dismissed for zero 2 consecutive times, Sanju was sitting quietly in the dressing room. Samson said, “Gautam Gambhir came and asked what happened? I said that I got a chance but could not score the run. So Gambhir said to me what happened. If you will be out at zero, then I will get you out of the team. In this way, the coach and captain’s words have given me confidence. The coach and the captain have hoped you, he wanted your good performance.

Consider all options for Asia Cup 2025 Squad

A source told News18 on the condition of anonymity, “It is a break of 5 weeks. Due to lack of cricket, even after Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson’s spectacular performance, these three should get a place in the T20 team. If the team reaches the final of the Asia Cup, then there will be 6 T20 matches, which will not be more burden. But after getting permission to select 17 players for the Asia Cup.

In the Asia Cup, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan can be important players in the top order. However, the availability of Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj is a big issue. It is expected that both of them may have to go through fitness assessment before team selection.

Tanvir ahmed on India participation asia cup 2025: The impact of tension between India and Pakistan was also shown on the people of both countries. After the tough stance of the Indian Army, former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi was seen spewing poison against India. Now another former Pakistan cricketer has also come into the limelight due to provocative speech. In fact, some media reports claimed that the Indian team will not play in the Asia Cup 2025. However, BCCI has rejected all these claims. Meanwhile, Tanveer Ahmed’s statement on BCCI has created a ruckus.

Tanveer Ahmed played for Pakistan’s national team from 2010-2013. During this, he took 170 runs in 5 Tests as well as 17 wickets. At the same time, he scored 18 runs in 2 ODI matches and took 2 wickets.

BCCI means Modi …

Tanveer Ahmed, while spewing poison, said, “BCCI has refused to play Asia Cup. Modi means Modi. BCCI also asks for eating bread, drinking water, especially in the case of Pakistan.”

Tanveer Ahmed further said that Pakistan Cricket Board has been taking big decisions before and it should still do the same. He said, “No board has refused to play this tournament. Only India has refused and the team that refuses should be raised in my eyes and shore, just as the fly is removed from the milk and excluded.”

BCCI cleaned everything

On the rumors of the Indian team not playing in the Asia Cup, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia quoted ANI as saying that the news has come to our notice that BCCI will not send its team to play Asia Cup 2025. BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia made it clear that such rumors are false.

Bcci Writes to ICC: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian cricket team will no longer play a bilateral series with Pakistan. Both teams are only face to face in the ICC tournament or ACC tournament, but after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the BCCI took another big decision and has also written a letter to the ICC in this regard.

On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, 26 people lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the report of Cricbuzz, the BCCI has taken a big step and wrote a letter to the ICC and demanded that India and Pakistan not be kept in a group in any tournament.

According to media reports, the BCCI does not want to compete between India and Pakistan in the ICC tournament, at least not in the group stage. If both teams reach the semi -finals or finals, then there will be a different thing, but in the group stage, at least both teams should not be kept together. The next big ICC tournament is in September, in which India will host the Women’s ODI World Cup. The Pakistan women’s team has qualified for this.

What will happen in the Asia Cup?

The next ICC tournament in men’s cricket will be played in 2026 between February and March, India and Sri Lanka will host the T20 World Cup. However, before this, concern for BCCI will be about the Asia Cup. This year the men’s Cricket Asia Cup is also to be held, in which there is a possibility of 2 matches India vs Pakistan. India and Pakistan are currently involved in Group A, with them UAE and Hong Kong. Group B stars Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Oman. The host of the Asia Cup is India, but a report in the cricbage earlier stated that the entire tournament is likely to be on neutral venue.

Now it has to be seen whether India and Pakistan remain in the same group in the Asia Cup or any decision can be taken on it because the tournament schedule has not yet come. The schedule is likely to come by May, but it will depend on what kind of coordination between BCCI and PCB. Actually Pakistan will not play its matches in India, in such a situation, neutral venue can be discussed. In a report, it has also been said that if there is tension between the two, then the tournament can also be canceled.

Will India play against Pakistan in asia cup 2025: Indo-Pakistan is face to face after the Pahalgam terror attack. The Government of India has come into action mode and imposed many restrictions on Pakistan. It has also affected cricket, which has raised the question whether the cricket team of India and Pakistan will come face to face in future. During the Champions Trophy 2025 on cricket, there was a lot of excitement, as a result Team India took the Champions Trophy matches in Dubai instead of Pakistan. The Asia Cup is to be played in September this year. Know here whether the Indian team will play with Pakistan in the Asia Cup or not?

India-Pak match will be held in Asia Cup or not?

Asia Cup 2025 will be played in September this year, but the name of the host country has not been revealed so far. In fact, BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla recently said on playing against Pakistan, “We will not play any bilateral series with Pakistan. What will be our government’s decision, we will do the same. We will not play a series with Pakistan due to the stance of the government. But as far as ICC event is concerned, we will be obliged to play with Pakistan due to the ICC.”

Since the Asia Cup is organized, not the Pakistan Cricket Board or BCCI, but the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). In such a situation, due to being a member of ACC, India and Pakistan may be obliged to play with each other.

Can India get Pakistan out of Asia Cup?

When the Champions Trophy 2025 was held, due to the attitude of BCCI, there were speculations that the tournament could be taken away from Pakistan. Even many people started demanding that Pakistan be excluded from the tournament. Now the question is, is there anything possible in the Asia Cup due to BCCI’s attitude? In fact, the post of Asian Cricket Council is currently holding the post of PCB, Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the current chairman of PCB. ACC is a separate council, due to the influence of Mohsin Naqvi, it will not be possible to make Pakistan out of the tournament by putting pressure on for India.
