Pak Asia Cup: Former India captain and World Cup winner Kapil Dev has weighed in on the much-anticipated India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup and urged people to avoid making it a big issue, stating that "government will do its job, and the players should do theirs".

Since the Asia Cup schedule was announced, a recurring debate has emerged over whether India and Pakistan should engage in a cricketing contest, given the strained political relations between the two nations - particularly in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack.

The BCCI, however, has maintained that it is bound by the central government's policy which permits participation in multinational tournaments but restricts bilateral series with Pakistan.
