Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary has said that he won't be watching the upcoming India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025, saying that human life is more important than sports.

The India-Pakistan match at the Asia Cup is likely to go ahead following the government's new policy on hosting and competing in sports involving Pakistan. But it raises serious questions: should international sporting credibility come before national interest and security?

India's Sports Ministry has clarified its stance on sports relations with Pakistan, prohibiting bilateral events but allowing participation in international tournaments where both nations are present. Additionally, Pakistani teams will be barred from competing in India. The ministry is also focused on attracting major sporting events by easing visa processes for international sports officials and ensuring proper protocol during their visits.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali expressed shock over the exclusion of Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami from India's Asia Cup squad. Ali believes Iyer's omission is particularly unjust, stating that in Pakistan, these players would be top-tier.

India is set to host the FIH Hockey Men's Junior World Cup in Chennai and Madurai from November 28 to December 10. The host nation finds itself in Pool B, facing Pakistan, Chile, and Switzerland. This edition marks a historic moment as the tournament expands to include 24 teams for the first time.
