2. Sunil Gavaskar on India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Clash: Final Call with Govt & BCCI
Asia Cup 2025 India vs Pakistan controversy – Sunil Gavaskar says final decision on match participation rests with Indian government and BCCI, not players.
Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has reacted to the ongoing debate over the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match. He clarified that the decision to play or withdraw will be taken entirely by the Government of India and the BCCI, not by the players.
Political Tensions and Backdrop
The issue gained momentum after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir, where 26 tourists lost their lives. Despite tensions, the BCCI agreed to play against Pakistan in Dubai on September 14, which triggered criticism.
Gavaskar’s Stand
“Players are employees of the board. If the government says play, they will play. If not, they won’t. Criticizing players is meaningless,” Gavaskar told India Today.
The Asia Cup will be held in the UAE from September 9–28, 2025, with India and Pakistan possibly clashing up to three times including the final, depending on progress. Gavaskar urged fans to stop targeting cricketers and instead support the team.
