DUBAI: The toss presentation for the highly anticipated ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 final between arch-rivals Pakistan and India went ahead with separate presenters for both captains.
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav was interviewed by Ravi Shastri, while Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha spoke with Waqar Younis.
The arrangement followed India’s insistence that their captain be interviewed only by an Indian presenter, rather than a neutral one as initially proposed by the organisers. Meanwhile, Agha was also interviewed by a Pakistani presenter.
The same format will continue during the post-match presentation ceremony, with each captain addressing questions exclusively from a presenter of his own country.
