The tournament will feature eight teams: India, Pakistan, UAE, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Nepal. India enters the competition led by captain Ayush Mhatre, with Vihaan Malhotra as vice-captain. The squad also includes breakout performer Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who earned his selection following impressive outings with India A. India has been placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE, and Malaysia, while Group B consists of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Nepal.
Rajesh Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer – Distribution & International Business and Head – Sports Business, Sony Pictures Networks India, said, “After the tremendous success of the Asia Cup Rising Star 2025, we are delighted to bring fans exclusive coverage of the Men’s Under-19 Asia Cup 2025.
