Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Squad Announces
With the Asia Cup 2025 fast approaching, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced its squad for the marquee tournament, scheduled to begin on September 9. The event will feature 8 top teams from the Asian region, divided into two groups of four teams each. Pakistan has been placed in Group A alongside India, Oman, and the UAE, making their group stage fixtures highly anticipated.
Interestingly, Pakistan became the first team to announce their Asia Cup squad for 2025. The Men in Green have opted for a young and dynamic team, with several senior stars surprisingly missing out. The selected squad reflects the players the team has experimented with over the past few months in T20 competitions. While lacking some of their big names, the squad appears well-balanced and capable of springing surprises, promising an exciting tournament for fans of Pakistan cricket.
Pakistan Squad for Asia Cup 2025: Young Faces Take the Spotlight
Salman Ali Agha will lead Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, heading a 17-member squad that has surprised many fans. In a shocking move, Babar Azam, one of the finest T20 batsmen of the modern era, has missed the tournament for the first time in eight years. Alongside him, Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s ODI captain, is also absent from the squad.
This decision highlights the PCB’s strategy of investing in young talent, with several senior and experienced players once again sidelined. The squad is built around emerging stars who have been tested in recent domestic and international T20 fixtures, signaling a long-term vision for Pakistan cricket.
The Asia Cup 2025 matches will be held across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with the Men’s National Selection Committee also announcing Pakistan’s squads for the upcoming T20I tri-series in the UAE. Fans will now eagerly watch how these young players perform on a major stage.
