ISLAMABAD: The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has announced the schedule for the Men’s T20I Asia Cup 2025, which will take place from September 9 to 28 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Earlier on Saturday, ACC President and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman MohsinโฏNaqvi confirmed that the 17th edition of the tournament will be held in the UAE.
The development came after the controversy surrounding the Asia Cup 2025 host and disagreements over the ACCโs Annual General Meeting, as India was due to host, but rising tensions with Pakistan brought the tournament into uncertainty.
