Asia Cup 2025: The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) on Saturday, August 2, officially confirmed the venues for the much-anticipated Asia Cup 2025, set to begin on September 9. The tournament will be hosted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and will be played in the T20I format, featuring eight teams from across the continent.
Though India were originally named hosts for the 17th edition, the tournament had to be moved to a neutral venue due to the political agreement between India and Pakistan, which prevents either side from touring the other's country.

As a result, the entire tournament will take place in the UAE, with matches scheduled across two iconic venues - the Dubai International Stadium and the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Group A: India, Pakistan, UAE, Oman
Group B: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Hong Kong
