LONDON: Pakistan’s Star all-rounder Shadab Khan has successfully undergone shoulder surgery in the United Kingdom, according to media reports.

“I’m feeling much better now,” Khan said after the surgery, thanking his fans support and requesting prayers.

According to reports, Shadab is expected to take around two to three months to recover and return to competitive cricket.

In another development, Cricket fans around the world can rejoice as the much-anticipated Asia Cup 2025 match between arch-rivals Pakistan and India is scheduled to take place in Dubai, UAE on September 7 this year.

Despite the rising tensions following the recent Pahalgam incident, the tournament is set to go ahead as planned, dismissing rumours of cancellation.

Asia Cup 2025 will follow its original T20 format and is scheduled to begin in the UAE on September 4 or 5.

The group stage will be followed by the Super Four round. If both India and Pakistan qualify, they could face each other again on September 14, and possibly for the third time in the final on September 21.

An Indian broadcaster confirmed: “The tournament will be held in September, and our team will participate.”

The reports further said that regardless of diplomatic tensions, India has never refused to play Pakistan in ICC events, mainly due to the significant media rights revenue, most of which is held by Indian broadcasters.
