Manoj Tiwary on IND vs PAK clash in Asia Cup 2025: ‘Operation Sindoor is still going on. How can we play a match with Pakistan?’

The Indian cricket team is scheduled to play a game against Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 in September. The tournament is set to be hosted in the UAE, and The Men in Blue will clash against The Men in Green on 14th September. Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary questioned how India can play Pakistan after the Phalgam terror attack and with Operation Sindoor still going on.

“The situation was so bad, how can we think of an India-Pakistan match? I feel that it should be considered again and the India-Pakistan match should not happen in such an environment,” Tiwary said, speaking on ANI. This will be the first match between India and Pakistan since the attack. Subsequently, Operation Sindoor was conducted by the Indian armed forces in Pakistan against terror emanating from that country.
