It's official. The Asia Cup is on and all roadblocks have been cleared. A championship, long mired in controversy, contention and debate, will now be played from September 9 to 28 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The announcement came from Mohsin Naqvi, the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). "I am delighted to confirm the dates of the ACC Men's Asia Cup 2025 in UAE. The prestigious tournament will take place from September 9th to 28th. We look forward to a spectacular display of cricket. Details scheduled will be out soon," Naqvi, who is also the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), said in a social media post on Saturday (July 26).
India and Pakistan are in the same group (A) which means, potentially, there will be three clashes between the arch-rivals. They'll clash in the league stage on September 14 first, and assuming the two qualify for the next round - the Super 4s - on September 21. The final could potentially be their third meeting, on September 28.
