In a significant development, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has confirmed the venues for the upcoming edition of Asia Cup. The ACC confirmed that Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the two venues for the continental tournament set to begin from September 9.

Notably, Abu Dhabi will host the first match of the tournament when Afghanistan take on Hong Kong at 7:30 pm IST. Abu Dhabi will host six matches, while rest of the tournament including the final will be held in Dubai on September 28. Here is the full fixtures including the venue. 

India vs Pakistan To Be Held In Dubai

The two heavyweights, India and Pakistan will lock horns against each other on September 14 and the match will be held at the Dubai International Stadium. Notably, the ACC had revelled the fixtures a few days ago, but the venues weren't confirmed.  

The ACC took to social media platform to reveal the venues for the upcoming continental cup. 

Indo-Pak Asia Cup Tie In Danger

Notably, threat looms over the possibility of India-Pakistan match in Asia Cup as the BCCI faces a huge backlash for approving the match despite the recent incident in Kashmir. Notably, after the Pahalgam attack in April, the two nations entered a war-like situation, where Indian government put a ban on Pakistani movies and also their songs.

Amid this, the news of India playing Pakistan in Asia Cup has irked the fans as they have asked the apex board of India to take lessons from Yuvraj Singh-led India Champions who boycotted their match against Pakistan Champions in WCL.

Notably, India reached the semis and were scheduled to play Pakistan, but they refused to participate and pulled out of the tournament. Thus, it is to be seen whether the BCCI takes a similar step and pull out of the upcoming fixture against Pakistan.
