During India’s Asia Cup 2025 squad announcement in Mumbai, chief selector Ajit Agarkar was stopped from answering questions about Pakistan by a BCCI representative. India is scheduled to face Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai, with potential encounters in the Super 4 and final stages. The decision comes amid tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack. Former players like Kedar Jadhav and Harbhajan Singh advised the BCCI against playing Pakistan. Agarkar and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav announced the squad, including Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, and Surya Kumar Yadav as captain. The tournament begins on September 9 in the UAE.
