Pakistan Hockey Team Will Be Allowed to Compete at Asia Cup: Sports Ministry Source

  • The Sports Ministry confirmed that Pakistan hockey teams received clearance to travel for the men's Asia Cup in Rajgir, Bihar, and the Junior World Cup in Chennai and Madurai.
  • This clearance follows uncertainty over Pakistan's participation amid ongoing cross-border tensions and Operation Sindoor impacting India-Pakistan relations.
  • Meanwhile, the 2025 Asia Cup cricket tournament is expected to be hosted by the UAE from early to mid-September, with India and Pakistan likely to face off on September 7 in Dubai.
  • The BCCI denied reports of India withdrawing from the Asia Cup, calling them “speculative and imaginary,” and affirmed Pakistan will not be barred from multi-nation events India hosts.
  • These developments suggest a delicate balance between ensuring Pakistan's participation in regional sports and managing political tensions that affect hosting rights and future tournament arrangements.
