Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in Asia Cup 2025
However, before this Asia Cup, there is a bad news for the fans of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rohit-Virat’s fans will be shocked to know that even though both the players have played in the last Asia Cup and played an important role in making the team champion, but these two legends will not play in the next Asia Cup, which is going to be held in 2025. . Know the reason behind this here.
The reason behind this is that the 2025 Asia Cup will be played in T20 format. In such a situation, Virat and Rohit will not be available for this tournament, because both have taken retirement from T20 International cricket. This tournament can be organized in December in 2025, because T20 World Cup 2026 will be organized in February-March. In such a situation, this tournament will be important for the preparations for the T20 World Cup.
ACC has informed that the price of media rights and the winner will be decided through e-auction. But to participate in the auction, technical bid will have to be submitted in Dubai by 30th October. However, it remains to be seen how many broadcasters show interest in this and participate in the auction. Apart from this, everyone’s eyes are on Viacom18-Jio Cinema and Disney Hotstar.
