There had been multiple calls to boycott the upcoming clash between India and Pakistan ahead of the Men’s Asia Cup 2025 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The encounter will take place on September 14 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as Aishanya Dwivedi, wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubha Dwivedi, called to boycott the fixture.
She urged the spectators not to watch the clash on television or travel to the ground for the game. She also slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), reckoning that the board wouldn’t have been sentimental towards the families of the 26 people who were killed in that terror attack a few months ago.

“I cannot understand this. I urge people to boycott this. Do not go to watch this, and do not switch on your TV for this. BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan, and I think BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families and the martyrs of the Operation Sindhoor.” She expressed during a recent interaction on ANI.

Diwedi also questions the Indian cricket team, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. She claimed that, except for a couple of players, no player came forward to call for a boycott of this encounter. She also raised concerns over the match revenue going to Pakistan.
“What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. Except for 1-2 cricket players, nobody stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it.” Aishnanya Dwivedi explained.
“What will the revenue from the match be used for? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism. That is a terrorist nation. You will provide them revenue and prepare them to attack us once again.” She concluded. India’s sports ministry has already given the green light to the team to feature against Pakistan in any multi-nation tournaments.
