Why ACC is Pressuring BCCI to Finalize Asia Cup 2025 Schedule
There has been a lot of tension growing between India and Pakistan. This has resulted in fixture problems in the Asia Cup 2025. Basically, the sponsors and broadcasters are now uncertain that this is a threat to commercial returns.
Basically, the terror attack in India led to a boycott of any kind of relationship with Pakistan. Even during the Champions League, the team India refused to play against Pakistan. However, in the Asia Cup, the teams will be facing each other, which has led to a nationwide debt.
The ACC has approached the BCCI, stating that the lack of information on India’s schedule has been a huge problem. Basically, this is creating a problem in advance planning of the tournament as well as the execution of their campaign.
Above all, the Asia Cup is the primary revenue-generating event of ACC, and the delay in finalizing the schedule is putting the revenue at risk. The TCM that sponsors the event and Sony show concern because of the delay and the timeline, as they are also part of ICC’s big events.
However, despite such tension, India will be playing the match in the Asia Cup 2025. There has been no official statement by the BCCI regarding this issue. The India vs. Pakistan match gains high viewership and is a major part of the tournament’s revenue.
