<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLess than two weeks before the start of the Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE<\/a>, official broadcasters Sony Sports Network released a promotional video to build excitement for the tournament. However, the clip focused on the India\u2013Pakistan clash scheduled for September 14 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, triggering severe backlash. Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag faced criticism for his appearance in the promo, while the BCCI was also slammed as fans threatened to boycott the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The BCCI has been under intense scrutiny since the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) confirmed the Asia Cup schedule earlier this month. India\u2019s participation had initially been in question following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which escalated tensions between India and Pakistan. At one point, speculation suggested the tournament could even be cancelled if India withdrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After months of uncertainty, ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi, who also chairs the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), announced the dates and venues for all Asia Cup matches. Fans were further angered by the prospect of India and Pakistan potentially meeting three times during the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The promo, featuring India\u2019s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi, ignited outrage among fans. Many criticised Virender Sehwag and the broadcasters, warning the BCCI that not a single match of the tournament would be watched by Indian viewers.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sehwag saab proving \u2018patriotism ends where advertisement money begins\u2019. pic.twitter.com\/8xLr25Gczm<\/a><\/p>— Navaldeep Singh (@NavalGeekSingh) August 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n Over patriotic ads for India pakistan Last week, the Indian Sports Ministry unveiled a new policy on international sporting engagements, emphasizing restrictions on Pakistan while allowing multilateral tournaments. Bilateral contests between India and Pakistan remain off the table, but multilateral events like the Asia Cup will proceed as planned, meaning the Suryakumar Yadav-led side will participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “India’s approach to sports events involving Pakistan reflects its overall policy in dealing with that country,” the ministry stated. “In so far as bilateral sports events in each other’s country are concerned, Indian teams will not be participating in competitions in Pakistan. Nor will we permit Pakistani teams to play in India.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, multilateral engagements remain unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We will not stop the Indian cricket team from playing in the Asia Cup as it is multilateral,” a ministry source said. “Pakistan will not be allowed on Indian soil for bilateral competitions, but we will not stop them from multilateral events as we will abide by the Olympic Charter<\/a>,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Virender Sehwag and BCCI faced backlash after Sony Sports\u2019 Asia Cup 2025 India\u2013Pakistan promo sparked fan outrage.
