The Asia Cup will be hosted by the Board of Cricket Control in India ( BCCI) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 9 to 28, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced on Saturday.
Naqvi, who is also chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took to 'X' to make a formal announcement.
"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 to a spectacular display of cricket. Details schedule will be out soon," Naqvi posted.
India will face Pakistan on September 14 and could once again face the arch-rival in the Super Four stage and the final if the two teams qualify.
The venue was decided on July 24 at the ACC meeting which was attended by all 25 member nations.
India and Pakistan have mutually agreed to compete only at neutral venues till 2027 due to prevailing cross-border tension between them, when one of the two nations host a tournament.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are expected to be the two venues used, as per PTI sources familiar with the Emirates Cricket Board.
This year's Asia Cup will feature eight teams and will be played in the T20 format as a preparation for next year's T20 World Cup hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
India are currently the defending champions of the Asia Cup, having won the title in 2023 under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy.
