Hong Kong has made a powerful statement with the announcement of its 14-member team, signalling its intent not just to participate, but to compete fiercely. The tournament, which runs from September 9 to 28 in the UAE across the Dubai and Abu Dhabi stadiums, will feature eight teams divided into two groups: Group A (India, Pakistan, UAE, Oman) and Group B (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong). The Hong Kong team, set to be led by captain Yasim Murtaza with the experienced Babar Hayat as his deputy, is a well-balanced mix of seasoned players and promising new talent.
Here's a deep dive into the official Hong Kong squad for the Asia Cup 2025, complete with player insights, key takeaways, and what this means for their campaign.

Hong Kong's dependable all-rounder Nizakat Khan continues to lead the side. His leadership, combined with explosive batting skills, makes him a key asset. Under his captaincy, Hong Kong will be hoping to punch above its weight in this high-pressure tournament.
