Asia Cup 2025 Timings Changed: The Emirates Cricket Board has moved almost the entire Asia Cup 2025 schedule into the evenings, an adjustment forced by the Gulf’s brutal September heat. Eighteen of the 19 matches will now start at 6:30 PM local time (8 PM IST), rather than the originally planned slots.

India’s Test captain Shubman Gill has reported to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for routine fitness checks ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. The 25-year-old opener, recently laid low by flu, skipped North Zone’s Duleep Trophy quarterfinal but has resumed preparations before linking up with the national squad in Dubai next week.
