Asia Cup 2025 Team Update: BCCI Reveals India Squad, Agarkar and Suryakumar Enlisted

The Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2025 has been announced. The live updates of the event can be followed on the JioHotstar app and website. Ajit Agarkar, chairman of selectors, announced the squad in a press conference alongside the team’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav.

Adding to the excitement was the presence of other officials including Ajit Agarkar, secretary Debajit Saikia, Shiv Sundar Das, Ajay Ratra, and other selectors. The topic of recent performances and thus inclusion of players Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill sparked discussions among former cricketers and fans. Iyer had a great performance last year. Therefore, some experts argue there is no reason why he shouldn’t be in India’s T20I squad.

However, Aakash Chopra, a former player, shared that he is strongly against making Shubman Gill the vice-captain, stating that it would interrupt the continuity that has been built with Axar Patel in that role. The big question for India remains, who will be prepared to follow after Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya?

After discussing these topics and more, the panel eventually came to a decision. The squad announcement is expected to happen today, regardless of the weather disruptions that have delayed the press conference. The exact timing of the press conference is still awaited.

There might be some surprise inclusions in the squad, with pertinent questions still open for debate, including the potential return of Shubman Gill and whether 15 or 17 players will be selected. Fans will have to wait for the press conference to unveil the selections for the squad.
