Is BCCI above national interest? Aaditya on proposed India-Pak match in Asia Cup
Agency: Mumbai, Aug 20 (PTI) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday wrote to Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya against a proposed match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup and asked whether the BCCI is above the national interest. The letter said many nations have been isolated in sports over a cause that is for the greater good of humanity. Terrorism is one such cause that prevents either of our nations from progressing peacefully. In the past decade, time and again, the country and its citizens have faced terrorist attacks based out of Pakistan, and the Union Government has reiterated it constantly, Thackeray stated. Recently, the Prime Minister also said water and blood cannot flow together from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Yet, only because of BCCI's insistence and desire for the money and ad revenue, probably, it holds the 'sindoor", and lives of our jawans as negligible, he said. 'Yet, sadly enough, and shamelessly, the BCCI is sending a team to play Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Is the BCCI above national interest? Is it above the sacrifice of our Jawans? Is it above the Sindoor of those who faced the attack in Pahalgham?" Thackeray said. 'We sent out delegations to the world, saying Pakistan is behind Pahalgam. Now, will we send out delegations to the world to justify why we are playing cricket with them?" Thackeray asked. It is truly a shameful act, when Pakistan has backed out of playing hockey in India, citing security reasons, that the BCCI plays Pakistan for selfish interest, the former Maharashtra minister said. The two marquee India versus Pakistan games will be held in Dubai during the upcoming Asia Cup, which is scheduled to start in the UAE from September 9. India and Pakistan will square off on September 14 in Dubai and one more time, potentially on September 21, at the same venue. The final on September 29 will also be held in Dubai. The tournament will be held in T20I format, keeping in mind the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka early next year.

Wasim Akram responds to backlash against India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 fixture: ‘Let's not go below the belt'
As the debate over whether India should play the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 encounter against Pakistan is open, former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram has conveyed the stance of Pakistan on the matter. While the phase of speculations around the Team India squad finally culminated on Tuesday, when the BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav announced the 15-member unit for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, the burning question about the tournament remains, and it has nothing to do with the squad. As the multi-nation tournament features both India and Pakistan, who are grouped together, it raises a contentious question, should India play Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD BCCI in major dilemma Given the ongoing tensions between the two nations following the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack, which prompted India to launch Operation Sindoor, a military operation against Pakistan, the prevailing opinion on social media and mainstream media is that India should not engage with Pakistan in any sector, be it trade or sports. Since the tournament schedule is already set, which requires the approval of all participating countries' governments, the BCCI and the Indian government are under severe pressure to act as per the nation's sentiments. However, if they choose this path, the BCCI will face another challenge. With organisers already committed and significant investments made in the tournament, withdrawing from the Pakistan encounter at this stage could be difficult for India. Wasim Akram conveys Pakistan's stance For Pakistan, there seems to be no dilemma. They are ready to play Team India and would not mind if the BCCI pulls out at the last minute. Former Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram conveyed the same following the unveiling of India's Asia Cup squad. 'Asia Cup schedule is out, there is backlash,' Akram said on the on the Stick With Cricket podcast. 'But we in Pakistan are calm. We will be fine whether we play or don't play. The game must go on,' he said. 'Politics apart, I am not a politician. They are patriotic about their country, we are patriotic about ours. Let's not go below the belt. Talk about the triumphs of your country; the same goes for Pakistan, and the same goes for India. It is easier said than done.' As things stand, the India vs Pakistan Group A encounter is scheduled to take place on September 14 in Dubai.
