The U19 World Cup winner, who also played 30+ IPL matches, has come with a sensational feeling about the India vs Pakistan matches in the Asia Cup 2025. </p><p>The complete fixtures of the Asia Cup 2025 were announced officially last Saturday (July 28) by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, when India was celebrating the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations.</p><p><strong>See Also:</strong> <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/sreesanth-shares-his-views-on-india-playing-pakistan-in-asia-cup-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sreesanth shares his views on India playing Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025</a></p><h3>India and Pakistan can face three times in Asia Cup 2025</h3><p>The United Arab Emirates will host the Asia Cup 2025 between September 9 and 28, which will be played in T20I format. Eight teams will participate in this tournament, while the arch-rivals India and Pakistan are in the same group. If both teams reach the Super 4 and Final, they will face each other three times in the tournament. As India has been boycotting many relationships with Pakistan since the Pahalgam terrorist attack last April, including the cancellation of the recent World Championship of Legends match between India Champions and Pakistan Champions, many Indians have called for the India vs Pakistan match boycotts in the upcoming Asia Cup. </p><h3>Asia Cup 2025: Shreevats Goswami calls for forfeit of matches against Pakistan</h3><p>Wicketkeeper-batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreevats_Goswami" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shreevats Goswami </a>was an important member when Virat Kohli-led India U19 won the 2008 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup. The Bengal cricketer also played 31 IPL matches, as he served for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and SunRisers Hyderabad. He has also brought out his emotional feelings on the India vs Pakistan matches in the upcoming Asia Cup. </p><p>Goswami feels that India should play the Asia Cup 2025 only to help the other Asian cricketing nations grow economically, but should also forfeit any matches against Pakistan in the tournament, even if the trophy is at stake.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">My read on the Asia cup going forward is India to & must forfeit the game against Pakistan& let them qualify.

Sreesanth has also raised a similar voice, as he feels that Pakistan shouldn't be allowed in the Asia Cup.</p><p>According to the Republic World official website, Sreesanth told the website, "I love the game, but you should put your country first. The way Indians are, we have nothing to prove. India are superb. In my personal view, Pakistan shouldn't be allowed; we should stay away from playing against them. Deshbhakti (Patriotism) comes first. There are rising tensions between the two nations, and Pakistan should take it easy."</p><div><div><p>"Everybody can look at IND vs PAK from different perspectives.
