With India playing Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup, there has been a lot of criticism from all sides. Pakistan’s involvement in terrorist activities in Ind, particularly following the Pahalgam incident that claimed the lives of numerous innocent Indians, has prompted the condemnation.
Uddhav Thackeray, the former chief minister of Maharashtra, believes that India’s match against Pakistan is an affront to national pride.
“National sensibilities are being insulted by this cricket match. While our men are giving their lives on the borders, should we be playing cricket with Pakistan? According to the Economic Times, Thackeray enquired.
On Sunday, September 14, the two teams will play one another in Dubai. Pakistan easily defeated Oman in their opening game of the competition, while Ind defeated the United Arab Emirates. They will be guaranteed a spot in the Super Fours if they win this match.
