Ganguly has supported Asia Cup 2025, which will be held in UAE in September. The whole country is enraged by Sourav Ganguly's statement.
The blood of the innocent people killed in the Pahalgam terror attack had not even dried yet and the Indian cricket team got ready to play a cricket match with Pakistan. India-Pakistan will clash on 14 September in the Asia Cup to be held in UAE. People's anger is boiling on social media regarding the India-Pakistan match. Meanwhile, the latest statement of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has added fuel to the fire.
Sourav Ganguly said that he has no objection to the Asia Cup, the game should go on. An incident like Pahalgam should not have happened, but the game should not stop either. There should be no terrorism. It has to be stopped. India has taken a strong stand against terrorism, but the game should go on.

Now Ganguly's statement is being criticized. Questions are being raised that when Pakistan-sponsored terrorism is taking the lives of the people of India, is it right to say that the game should be kept going ?
Shame on you Sourav Ganguly 🤡 pic.twitter.com/JFyMqh33Hp

Many former players and common people are asking Ganguly on social media whether cricket should become a medium to normalise relations with Pakistan when a Holi of blood is being played?
