In shocking news, Pakistan is applying for a withdrawal from the current ACC Men's Asia Cup 2025 with immediate effect. Their fixture against the United Arab Emirates at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been pushed back by an hour for more talks to formalize the position of things. The PCB and ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi is negotiating with ex-PCB officials to make the final decision regarding the shocking move. In the event of withdrawal, Group A's Pakistan vs UAE match will be forfeited and Muhammad Waseem-managed side will be credited with the match and the points accruing thereto. This would also make them the second team from the group to qualify to the Super Fours, following the Indians who achieved this square and fair after their back-to-back victories in the tournament so far. India has already reserved their place in the Super Four stage. For Pakistan, it is not like that. They need to beat hosts UAE if they wish to remain in the tournament. A win would not only keep them alive but also set up another high-tension India-Pakistan clash on Sunday. On Tuesday, India and Pakistan both practiced at the ICC Academy in Dubai. Even though they had different time slots, they both coincidentally were in the same venue at the same time for almost an hour. Coincidentally, Pakistan also postponed its scheduled press conference on Wednesday, which only added to growing rumors. The destiny of the Pakistan vs UAE Asia Cup 2025 match is in limbo as of today. The individuals from around the globe are waiting with bated breath for answers, not wanting the drama to detract from the cricket. Pakistan's campaign in the Asia Cup has been disappointing till now, with erratic performances revealing gross weaknesses in their game. A once-dominant team is now plagued by batting collapses and bowling lack of depth. Their recent form is a mirror reflection of the overall decline of Pakistan cricket over the last few years.
