Asia Cup: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is facing massive backlash online after the Asia Cup 2025 schedule revealed that India is set to face Pakistan on September 14 in the UAE.
The announcement came just days after a highly sensitive episode involving the India Champions team, which had withdrawn from a scheduled clash against Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends. The move was a mark of protest following the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed several innocent lives.
Cricket fans were shocked and angered to see India listed to play against Pakistan in an official tournament so soon. Social media platforms were flooded with reactions, many of them targeting the BCCI for what users described as an “insensitive” decision. The hashtag #BoycottAsiaCup began trending, with users demanding the Indian cricket board reconsider its participation in the match.
