Amit Mishra’s take:

From my perspective, the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 is where the future cricketing stars of tomorrow are developed. Although there will be much attention on the India A vs Pakistan A matchup, I think the young players from Oman and Hong Kong look most rejuvenated to advance their game and show everyone what they are capable of. Further, I’m interested to see how fully the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 squads react under pressure to try to earn their place on the international stage.
