India will begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday, September 10, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the defending champions are eager to reclaim the prestigious T20 title. The Men in Blue return to T20 internationals after a gap, with their last series played against England earlier this year. While most players have been active in the IPL 2025, the Asia Cup will be their first international T20 outing since then.
