Asia Cup on, but no bilateral sporting ties with Pakistan: Sports Ministry
The Statesman Siliguri
|August 22, 2025
The Union Sports Ministry on Thursday ended speculation over India's sporting engagements with Pakistan, announcing a new policy that bars all bilateral competitions between the two nations, while allowing participation in multilateral events such as next month's cricket Asia Cup.
"India's approach to sports events involving Pakistan reflects its overall policy in dealing with that country," states the Ministry policy.
"In so far as bilateral sports events in each other's country are concerned, Indian teams will not be participating in competitions in Pakistan. Nor will we permit Pakistani teams to play in India," it added.
However, the ministry clarified that this restriction does not extend to multilateral tournaments organised by international bodies.
