The Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 in Doha will kick off with a high-voltage clash between India A and Pakistan A on November 16 at the West End Park International Stadium. One of the highlights of the group stage brings together two of Asia’s most exciting young teams.
Led by wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma, India A boasts a youthful but explosive batting line-up that includes IPL star runaway Priyansh Arya and 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who scored a 35-ball hundred for Rajasthan Royals earlier this year.
The teenage prodigy lit up the tournament against the UAE, hammering a 32-ball century before racing to 144 off 42 balls with 11 fours and 15 sixes. The team also enters the competition fresh from an intensive training camp at the BCCI Center of Excellence, focused on honing their T20 skills and situational play.
Pakistan A, led by Irfan Khan Niazi, counter with a balanced 15-man squad mixing promising batsmen like Maaz Sadaqat, Muhammad Naeem and Arafat Minhas along with solid depth in both pace and spin. The match promises to be an exciting, high-energy contest between two rising cricket powerhouses.
