The serious impact of the sourness of India-Pakistan relations is now visible on sports. Tension has started increasing between the two countries regarding the Champions Trophy 2025 because the Indian government has refused to send Team India to Pakistan for this tournament. There seems to be a tense situation regarding this, but apart from this, a situation of tension has arisen in another game. According to reports, most of the Pakistani players have not got visa for the Asia Cup Youth Scrabble Championship to be held in India. Pakistani team is the current champion of this tournament.

Pakistani media reports have claimed that the Indian High Commission in Islamabad canceled the visa applications of most of the players for this tournament to be held in India. A few selected members also got visas, but they got them just a day before leaving for India. Quoting Pakistan Scrabble Association, it has been claimed that their players had applied for visa to the Indian High Commission two months ago to participate in this tournament, but the applications of many players were canceled without giving any reason.

The special thing is that Pakistan is the current champion of this tournament and now this tournament will be played without it. Earlier in 2022, when this championship was held in India, the players had got visas and they had won the title. This time, among the players who did not get visa, some are also those who came to India in 2022.
