Asia Cup: Kamran Akmal Hopes For Calm Before And After Blockbuster India-Pakistan Clash

By IANS News September 10, 2025 • 17:34 PM View: 1194

Telecom Asia Sport: Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Kamran Akmal hopes the much-anticipated encounter between archrivals India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai goes ahead peacefully, amidst concerns of tensions spilling over on and off the field.

The high-voltage Asia Cup match on Sunday comes just four months after a military conflict between the two neighbours — their most serious standoff since the 1999 Kargil war. The conflict followed a terrorist attack on the Indian tourist site of Pahalgam in April, which killed 26 people.

Amidst calls for a boycott of the match, the Indian government cleared it under its new policy, which allows participation against Pakistan in multinational tournaments but not bilateral series.
