Asia Cup Venue Changed As Officials Hope To Avoid Cancellation: Report
Last Updated: The ACC has reportedly shifted the 2025 Asia Cup from India to the UAE as officials continue to hope that the tournament will go ahead despite India-Pakistan tensions. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC), chaired by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi, has reportedly moved the 2025 men's Asia Cup to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), despite India being the official host. Clouds still remain over whether the competition will be played at all, in light of the tensions between the two biggest participant nations, India and Pakistan, but officials hope a change in venue will help. According to Forbes, a final decision is expected at the ICC's Annual General Meeting in Singapore next month. But for now, it seems to be decided that the UAE will host the tournament if it goes ahead. It has beaten competition from Sri Lanka, the host of the last edition in 2023, which was also in strong running. India and Pakistan had already reached an arrangement before the 2025 Champions Trophy, where all of their multi-national tournament matches for the foreseeable future will be held in neutral venues. The Asia Cup was put under further doubt after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which took the lives of 26 innocents in Kashmir, and led to retaliatory action from India, bringing it on the brink of a war with Pakistan. Several reports in India have claimed that the tournament won't go ahead, but stakeholders remain cautiously optimistic. 'Things have been quiet amid the tension, and there is much to play out, but there is still time," Forbes cited an official close to discussions as saying. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has also denied rumors of India's 'opting out' of the tournament. Sportstar. The UAE has been a backup neutral venue of several such emergency scenarios, including the Champions Trophy's India matches and some IPL editions. The Cup, if it goes ahead, will be played in the T20 format as preparations for next year's T20 World Cup. First Published: June 17, 2025, 12:38 IST

Buttler Was Stunned By Suryavanshi: 'This Guy's The Best Player I Have Ever Seen'
Last Updated: Jos Buttler recalls thinking that Vaibhav Suryavanshi was 'the best player I have ever seen' while watching him bat against CSK on TV. Former England captain Jos Buttler was lavish in his praise for Rajasthan Royals' Vaibhav Suryavanshi, recalling how at one stage in IPL 2025 he felt that the 14-year-old talent was the 'best player I have ever seen'. Buttler had been following Suryavanshi since he was included in the IPL auction list as the youngest-ever (13 years old at the time). The Englishman was then on the receiving end when Suryavanshi hit a 35-ball century, the second quickest in the IPL, against the Titans' quality bowling attack, breaking a plethora of records. He said he felt 'inspired and deflated at the same time' seeing someone so young bat like that. 'And then, the innings against us — you know, our bowling attack consists of Mohammed Siraj, a brilliant international bowler, Prasidh Krishna, an international bowler, Rashid Khan, the best T20 bowler — and he just… the scale of the sixes. They weren't just clearing the boundary — they were big sixes. I mean, you're literally a yard from him. Big sixes. And a 35-ball 100 — it was outrageous," Buttler said on the For the Love of Cricket podcast. 'It's inspiring and deflating at the same time. This guy's 20 years younger than me, and he's just smashing us all around the park. But yeah, absolutely — shockwaves throughout the cricket world," he added. However, more than the century, Buttler was impressed with Suryavanshi's mature knock against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The teenager scored 57 (33) but offered much more maturity, playing out the early overs and then smashing bowlers at will. 'I was watching on TV. And, you know, Chennai have Ravi Ashwin, Jadeja — proper seasoned pros. And he was like, bang, hit them out into the sand. And then sort of, you know, knocked one out to cover, like, I'm so in control, I'll just take one now, trot down to the other end. And at that moment, I'm like — this guy's the best player I've ever seen. Like, I'm so blown away," he added. Buttler went onto make what he knew is a 'huge statement', relating Suryavanshi's bat swing to two legendary cricketers. 'But the 100 was incredible, right? He went for every ball. It was like, no fear. Whereas that next knock, it was like — a seasoned pro, just taking down great bowlers, hitting a six when he wanted, getting off strike when he wanted. It was in a run chase as well. So, he was calm. And the swing of the bat is beautiful. He has this amazing bat swing, a bit like — it's a huge statement — Yuvraj Singh slash Brian Lara," he said.
