Asia Cup 2025: Pakistan's Squad Announced and Fans Are Buzzing

The Asia Cup 2025 is almost here, and cricket fans across the continent are already feeling the excitement. This year’s tournament will be hosted in the UAE, with matches scheduled in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently announced its 20-man provisional squad, sparking debate and high expectations among fans.

Leading the squad is Babar Azam, back at the helm after a mixed year in T20 cricket. Mohammad Rizwan remains his trusted deputy, while the pace duo of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf provides firepower. The selectors have also brought in rising stars like Ubaid Shah and Qasim Akram, looking to blend youth with experience.

Spin will be vital in UAE conditions, and Shadab Khan returns as a key player alongside leg-spinner Usama Mir. Middle-order power-hitter Azam Khan has also been given another chance to shine.

The biggest draw will be the high-voltage India vs Pakistan clash, likely to be held in Dubai. Fans are already marking their calendars. The final 15-man squad will be finalized after a training camp in Lahore.

With a balanced squad and a passionate fanbase, Pakistan is ready to make a strong impact in Asia Cup 2025.
