'PM Modi said Operation Sindoor is still ongoing': Manoj Tiwary calls out BCCI, says 'IND-PAK match should not happen'

The schedule for Asia Cup 2025 has stirred a new debate with India scheduled to meet Pakistan for a possible three times during the course of the continental event. The development has met with public outcry, who have vehemently expressed their displeasure over the cricket match between the two countries, who don't share great relations.

The tension between the neighbours have escalated further after the heinous Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, in the month of April, forcing Indian security forces to launch Operation Sindoor.

But a couple of months after the operation, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) confirmed the dates for the tournament, which is scheduled to run from September 9-28, with India and Pakistan set to lock horns on September 14 in a group stage encounter. The teams will meet again in the Super Four stage if they manage to qualify, which should be the case. And the third meeting between the two could be a potential final, also if both manage to reach that stage of the tournament.
