ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025: schedule, dates, match times, teams, venue, live stream:  It’s time for another massive Asian cricket showdown — the Asia Cup Rising Stars Championship, a rebranded version of the Emerging Asia Cup. The tournament will take place in Doha, Qatar, from November 14 to 23, featuring eight nations in what promises to be another round of high-octane T20 action.

The event includes 15 T20 matches, with the top two teams from each group moving through to the semifinals. Defending champions Afghanistan will be out to hold onto their title.

All Eyes on Another India vs Pakistan Clash 🇮🇳🇵🇰

As always, the biggest spotlight will shine on India vs Pakistan, with both teams landing in the same group once again.

Their rivalry made headlines earlier this year during the senior Asia Cup, when controversy erupted after India reportedly refused to shake hands with the Pakistan team and declined to receive the trophy from ACC chief Naqvi.

The situation escalated when Naqvi left the ground with the trophy still in hand — meaning India are yet to officially receive it. Now the big question is: if India go all the way again, will they take the trophy from Naqvi, or will the ACC appoint someone else to handle the presentation and avoid another drama?
