India’s Captain Suryakumar Yadav has expressed its openness to the long-ended ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 showdown against Pakistan, which will take place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

The right -handed dough also shared that the players were aware of the conditions here, referring to their recent visit to the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, before showering praise for cold.
