In the Asia Cup 2025, India is placed in Group A, alongside Pakistan. India and Pakistan will have a face off against each other on September 14.
The actor was quoted by ANI saying, 'We all know whatever has been going on, but sports is a different field.'
He added, 'Pakistan needs to realise that they are losing out by doing wrong to India… We want peace, but they need to initiate this time. They are the ones who cause the problem. India has never attacked any country first. Shame on those people in Pakistan who support terrorism."

The tournament, under the aegis of the Asian Cricket Council, is now set to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 9 to 25.
Originally slated to be hosted by India, the venue had to be shifted following escalating military tensions between the two nations, triggered by the recent deadly attack in Pahalgam. Given the sensitive climate, organisers opted for the UAE—a neutral ground known for hosting high-stakes cricket with diplomatic ease.

Manoj Tiwary corners BCCI after India vs Pakistan scheduled in Asia Cup: 'PM Modi said Operation Sindoor is still on'
A contentious call was made by cricket's governing bodies to schedule an Asia Cup tournament in the wake of the violence along the India-Pakistan border. The upcoming tournament, slated to take place between September 9 and September 28, will be held in the UAE, with the official release of the schedule marking September 14 as the date for the India-Pakistan clash. Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Shaheen Afridi in action during the previous edition of the Asia Cup.(AFP) Many expected this match, if not the whole tournament, to be scratched off in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attacks in March, and the military response that followed from both sides. The cricketing boards and the Asian Cricket Council have come under further criticism for scheduling this match given the friction behind it. Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary, who now serves as a minister of state in West Bengal, came out in open criticism of the decision to hold this match. In an interview with ANI, the former batter made clear that the cricket match shouldn't go ahead. "I am against it. The India-Pakistan match should not be held. Especially after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in which civilians have been killed. After that, Operation Sindoor has taken place,' said Tiwary, citing India's military response to the attacks which included aerial targeting of military and terrorist camps inside Pakistan. 'Our Prime Minister is saying…' "The situation was so bad, how can we think of an India-Pakistan match. I feel that it should be considered again and the India-Pakistan match should not happen in such an environment,' continued the former Bengal batter. "Our Prime Minister is saying that the Operation Sindoor is still going on… How can we play a match with Pakistan?' Tiwary's comments follow from a last-minute cancellation of the match between legends from India and Pakistan in the ongoing World Championship of Legends taking place in the UK, which was called off after players such as Harbhajan Singh and the Pathan brothers made themselves unavailable, citing their unwillingness to play against Pakistan in the wake of pressure from fans at home. While the fate of this match and the Asia Cup as a whole remains uncertain and to be decided, India's desire to be accommodating and following the Olympic charter ahead of the planned bid for the 2036 Olympic Games is reportedly the reason for BCCI's agreement for the tournament to go ahead.

Image via: thenotoriousmma/Instagram McGregor may finally be plotting his long-awaited return to the UFC, and he's setting his sights on one of the most historic stages ever imagined for a mixed martial arts event: the White House lawn. After multiple false starts and extended time away from the Octagon, McGregor has reportedly re-entered the UFC's anti-doping testing pool— potentially lining himself up for the promotion's highly anticipated White House card set for July 4, 2026. In one story, McGregor shared, 'Blood tester on my yacht.' The next caption reads, 'Blood from shoulder.' In another photo, he held the container of his urine, writing, 'I piss excellence.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Al-qtamyah: Unsold Sofas May Be at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Conor McGregor is eying White House fight card McGregor hasn't fought since breaking his leg during a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in July 2021. Though he briefly rejoined the UFC anti-doping program in 2023 in anticipation of a fight with Michael Chandler, a toe injury derailed those plans. His drug testing record shows 11 tests in 2024 but none so far in 2025, suggesting he again stepped away from testing earlier this year. But according to David Feldman, president of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and a close associate of McGregor, the Irishman has re-entered the pool. 'He told me in person,' Feldman shared on The MMA Hour. 'He whispered in my ear, he said, 'I'm in the testing pool.' He said, 'I'm getting ready to make my comeback. I'm going to fight on that big card and then I'm going to have another fight and then we can talk.'' McGregor himself confirmed the move. 'They're testing me,' he told The Schmo during a BKFC press event in Florida. 'I'm in the pool… Oval Office. White House card.' The buzz centers around former President Donald Trump's plan to host a UFC supercard on July 4, 2026, to mark America's 250th birthday. Trump has maintained a close relationship with UFC President Dana White and has attended numerous fights in recent years.
