There is a massive outrage on social media between Indian and Pakistan’s departure fans in the Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai. The boycott calls have intensified, with wide pressure on the BCCI and the Indian template, as there are only hours left for the actions on Sunday, September 14.
The next clash of India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 has aroused questions about whether the blue men could have chosen to boycott the game or the whole tournament, given the continuous tension between the two countries and the historical patterns.
India has a background to jump the Asia Cup tournaments. In 1986, blue men did not travel to Sri Lanka due to concern for the Tamils treatment. On the other hand, Pakistan boycotted the 1990-91 Asia Cup due to the Kashmir conflict.

Even the 1993 Asia Cup was completely canceled due to the increase in tensions between India and Pakistan after the 1993 bomb explosions. At that time, the BCCI had a limited influence on the world cricket and even paid to Doordarshan to broadcast matches.
Today, with an estimated net value of 20,000 crores, the BCCI dominates the global cricket. Despite their financial and political power, both the Government and the BCCI have decided to follow India’s participation in the Asia Cup 2025 and play Pakistan.

They even said that the “excuse of the Olympic Games” often cited does not have much weight, citing examples such as Brisbane that was financially struggling to host the 2032 Olympic Games. Some were asked why India would consider an offer for the 2036 Olympic Games when the bets are so high and political and social tensions are still intense.
Fans even remembered the 26/11 attacks and hit the BCCI even having agreed to face Pakistan in the World Cup of Hate. And even after the 2019 Pulwama attack, India faced Pakistan in the World Cup and then welcomed them to the 2023 World Cup, with fans of questioning these calls.
India boycotted the Asia Cup in 1986 because they did not want to travel to Sri Lanka because of the way the Tamils were treated.
