India’s 15 -member team has been declared for the Asia Cup 2025. The Indian team will play under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav in this tournament, while Shubman Gill will be the vice -captain. The Asia Cup will start from 9 September and India will start its campaign against UAE from 10 September. But despite all this, Shreyas Iyer has again been ignored and he has not got a place in the team.
Shreyas Iyer’s bat ran a lot in IPL 2025. He took the team to the finals by captaining Punjab. Despite all this, his neglect in team selection has surprised everyone.
India is placed in Group A with Pakistan, UAE and Oman in Group A in the T20 format Asia Cup. Gill has been appointed as the vice -captain of the team. At the same time, when Ajit Agarkar and captain Suryakumar Yadav held a press conference, the Chief Selector was questioned by the media about Iyer.
In this press conference, Agarkar said that as far as Yashasvi Jaiswal is concerned, it is unfortunate. You see how Abhishek Sharma has done his work and he can also bowl. So Yashasvi will have to wait. The same is with Iyer. He has no fault. We had a chance to choose only 15 players. If there was a place, we would have made Shreyas a part of the team.
Apart from this, captain Suryakumar Yadav said that Bumrah got busy in the Test calendar after the T20 World Cup. Now they have time and are returning to the team. We are happy to find them in the team. Agarkar said that, we want Bumrah to be available all the time. But injuries have troubled him a lot and physio is monitoring him.
