The Asia Cup is now just a few days left in the beginning of 2025. The date of the announcement of Team India for this tournament is also coming near. The Indian squad for the Asia Cup will be announced in Mumbai on Tuesday, August 19. But before this, the picture of the Indian squad seems to be clear.
Actually, according to the Times of India report, Suryakumar Yadav will be the captain of Team India for the Asia Cup. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer can be excluded from the T20 team.
Captain Surya, India’s T20 team captain Surya is currently in the Center of Excellence, BCCI, Surya is preparing to return to the game after the surgery of her sports hernia. In the selection meeting in Mumbai, it is clear that he will be the captain of Team India in the Asia Cup. According to information received by the Times of India, Ajit Agarkar will hold a press conference in Mumbai on August 19 after the selection committee meeting.
At the same time, it is being said that with the confirmation of Surya, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal can be dropped from the T20 team for the Asia Cup. Talking about the top order of the team, the batting order of Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav is fixed, so it is difficult for Jaiswal and Gill to make a place.
At the same time, one of the major reasons for Jaiswal and Iyer being out of the Asia Cup is that these two players are part of the Dilip Trophy, so the matter of concern for the selectors may also be that the players’ format switching can make a difference on their performance.
