The Asian Cricket Council on 20 November 2025 confirmed the schedule for the 2025 Under-19 Asia Cup, scheduled for December 12-21 in the UAE. Pakistan is placed in Group A alongside India and two qualifier teams; Pakistan’s campaign opens on 12 Dec and the blockbuster Pakistan-India clash is set for 14 Dec in Dubai. The tournament offers Pakistan’s emerging talent a major platform ahead of senior international commitments and serves regional cricket diplomacy amid security and venue concerns. For youth players, it’s an opportunity to shine, for selectors, a chance to evaluate depth and for fans, the excitement of seeing the next generation in action. With Pakistan keen to re-assert its cricketing strength and attract global flows of talent, the Under-19 Asia Cup schedule announcement is timely and strategic. The event also signals Pakistan’s broader cricketing aspirations in staging and participating in international youth tournaments.
