As the Asian Cricket Council(ACC) validated Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the main host cities for the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025, Nishant Pitti, creator & chairman of EaseMyTrip, has actually taken a strong and clear stand versus India’s involvement in matches including Pakistan.
Reacting To Shiv Sena (UBT)MP Priyanka Chaturvedi’s tweet, which criticised the federal government and BCCI for enabling an India-Pakistan component in spite of Operation Sindoor, Pitti composed, “I don’t believe Indian players would participate, and certainly not with Indian brands sponsoring any match involving Pakistan.”
“When national sentiment is clear, commercial interests and sporting opportunities must take a backseat. We stood firm in WCL2025 by stepping away, and that decision still speaks louder than any scoreboard. Also, there is no official communication from BCCI about the same,” he included.
EaseMyTrip Earlier Response
This is not the very first time Pitti has actually voiced such a position. On July 20, he released a main declaration on EaseMyTrip’s position, mentioning that regardless of going into a five-year sponsorship arrangement with the World Championship of Legends (WCL), the business would not be connected with any match including Pakistan.
“EaseMyTrip supports Team India, but we will not engage in any match featuring Pakistan. Bharat First. Always,” he had actually stated, including that this position had actually been interacted to competition organisers from the start.
Asia Cup 2025
The ACC press release validated that the Asia Cup 2025 will run from 9th to 28th September, including 8 groups: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong, China.
The competition will have 19 T20 matches, with Dubai hosting 11 video games and Abu Dhabi hosting 8.
The India vs. Pakistan component is arranged for 14th September, with the possibility of rematches in the Super Four and Final.
While ACC President Mohsin Naqvi explained the Asia Cup as “a celebration of Asian cricket,” Nishant Pitti’s tweet has actually brought the focus back to the stress in between nationwide belief and cricketing ties.
The opposition and numerous critics are highly versus India playing Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup, specifically in the wake of the Pahalgam fear attack in which 26 civilians were eliminated on 22 April 2025, which has actually been connected to Pakistan-backed components.
