The tentative date for the start of the Asia Cup 2025, for which India are the designated hosts, is reportedly September 10.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) will likely publish the timetable for the six-nation competition in early July, Times of India reports.
Though India is the official host of this year’s event, the competition is expected to be staged in the UAE owing to the political tensions in the region, TOI, quoting a top BCCI source, reports.
Per the daily, the ACC could “possibly” release the schedule of the six-team tournament in the first week of July.
