Asia Cup 2025 is going to begin. The tournament between 8 teams will start from 9 September and will be played in UAE between 28 September. From the Asia Cup itself, 14 -year -old cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi also wore Team India jersey in white ball cricket. However, it was not of the Asia Cup senior team but of the Under -19 team, which was also held in UAE last year. Vaibhav Suryavanshi not only made his debut against Pakistan in that Under -19 Asia Cup, but also hit so many runs and sixes in the tournament that Babar Azam had beaten up.
