When the India-Pakistan match took place in the Group Stage of Asia Cup 2025, there was a lot of ruckus. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had threatened to boycott the Asia Cup on the handshake dispute. Now in the Super-4 match, India and Pakistan teams are ready to come face to face again (India vs Pakistan Super 4). Before this match, captain Suryakumar Yadav has given a big statement on joining hands with the Pak team.

Before the India vs Pakistan Super-4 match, captain Suryakumar Yadav was asked questions about joining hands with the Pak team in the press conference. Captain Suryakumar postponed this question in talks.

Pakistan again insulted

On the question of joining hands with the Pakistan team, Suryakumar Yadav said, “There will be a good contest of the ball and bat here and it will also be a pressure match. I said earlier that the stadium will be full of people and the crowd will be full support you. It is better that you give your best and enjoy the match.”

To avoid the impact of different speculation on social media, Suryakumar Yadav said that it would be better for the players to close the room, switch off the phone and sleep. “Captain Surya made it clear that if the players have to give their best, then you have to avoid the outside noise.

On Wednesday, Rameez Raja gave a controversial statement, describing the match referee Andy Poycroft as a permanent fixer of India. He said that Poycroft is present in every match in India. He also commented on Suryakumar Yadav in his statement, claiming falsely. This statement came when the Pakistan Cricket Board claimed that the match referee had apologized. Actually, Pakistan is believing in the conviction of insulting by Indian players not joining hands.

The Pakistan Cricket Board wanted the match referee Andy Poycroft to be removed from the Asia Cup. The ICC had rejected this demand, after which the PCB proposed that at least there were referees in their matches, but this demand was not accepted and Pakistan vs. UAE was the referee poycroft in the UAE match. Hiding the dishonor many times, the Pakistan Board claimed that the referee had apologized to him. Meanwhile, speaking in front of the press outside the PCB headquarters, Rameez Raja described Poycroft as a fixer of India.

What did Rameez Raja say?

Rameez Raja said, “It’s fun. There is a neutral platform, so matches are referees but I think they are applied for them every time (poycrooft). “

When Rameez Raja was speaking this, PCB Chief and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi were constantly laughing. Rameez did not stop here, he also dragged Suryakumar Yadav’s name in his statement.

Rameez Raja further said, “This is our victory, it was a delicate situation. I was very much happy that we did not take any decision in sentimentality. If we boycotted, our cricket would have been damaged. My biggest objection was on the after -match presentation (by Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav).

Rameez king’s false claim

It is not surprising that a big official of Pakistan is spewing poison against India by telling false figures, the Rameez king did the same. Let us know that Andy Poycroft was referee in 124 matches in India, but for Pakistan he was also referee in 103 matches. He played the referee in 107 matches in England.

Now when is India vs Pakistan match?

With Group ‘A’, India and Pakistan have made it to the Super-4 of Asia Cup 2025. Now the match between the two will be played on Sunday, September 21 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The live broadcast of the match will be on Sony Sports Network. Live streaming will be on Sony Live App and website.

The Asia Cup 2025 will start from September 9, which will run till 28 September. Many people are angry at the inclusion of India and Pakistan in the same group, because this has decided a match between the two which will be held on 14 September. After this, in Super-4, there can be a clash between the two and if both reach the final, then its number will be 3. Now fast bowler Mohammed Shami has given a big statement about this match.

The reason behind the uproar regarding the India vs Pakistan match is the Pahalgam attack, which took place on 22 April. In response to the terrorists from Pakistan, 26 Indian citizens had killed, in response, the Indian Army also launched an airplane at the terrorist bases in Pakistan. Then the stress had increased a lot, the situation is better. Mohammed Shami is not included in the Squad of the Asia Cup, but if he was asked about it in an interview, he gave his opinion on it.

What did Mohammed Shami say on India vs Pakistan match in Asia Cup?

In an interview, Mohammed Shami was asked whether the Indian team should play with Pakistan? In response to this, Shami said, “The cricket board and the Indian government should do what they say. It is not played with the emotions, many things are seen in it. When everyone is ready, you have to play and should also play.”

When the cricket team of India and Pakistan play among themselves, there is more pressure on the players of both teams than any other match. Regarding this, Mohammed Shami said, “I feel like other matches, but there is a different kind of spirit in the fans and due to this a different atmosphere is created. Due to this, the players are also more thrilled then it is fun.”

Many former cricketers do not want matches with Pakistan

The Government of India has recently allowed a match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, although it has also been clarified that India will not play with Pakistan in any sport in the bilateral series but there is no ban from playing Pakistan in the multitim tournament. Former cricketers Kedar Jadhav and Harbhajan Singh feel that India should not play with Pakistan.

The ‘Topic’ of the Asia Cup 2025 in the cricket world remains in the discussion. For the first time, 8 teams will be participating in this tournament, but even after the release of the schedule, there is a demand for cancellation of it. On the other hand, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is being severely criticized for the India vs Pakistan match. Amid this ruckus, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has given a big statement on this upcoming tournament and India vs Pakistan match.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, there has been a lot of anger among the Indian people towards Pakistan. Therefore, there is a demand to boycott the match against Pakistan on social media too. Amidst all this, Sourav Ganguly says that no situation should have any effect on the game.

Talking to the news agency ANI, Sourav Ganguly said, “I do not have problems with this, the game should continue. The Pahalgam attack was a tragic incident which should not have happened. Terrorism should be eradicated. India should take strict action against terrorism, the game should continue there.”

Sourav Ganguly’s statement comes at a time when the demand for cancellation of the entire Asia Cup is gaining momentum, not only India vs Pakistan. In this case, he caught fire when the statement of Danish Kaneria came to light. He set the example of the World Championship of Legends, in which several Indian players, including Shikhar Dhawan and Harbhajan Singh, refused to play against Pakistan, which is why WCL organizers had to cancel the Indo-Pak match. Now a few days later, Danish Kaneria has taunted India’s decision to play with Pakistan in the Asia Cup.

In view of the preparations for the 2026 T20 World Cup, the Asia Cup 2025 will also be played in T20 format. The tournament will be played till September 9-28, in which a total of 8 teams including India and Pakistan will be participating.
