India Squad For Asia Cup 2025: There is little time left for the announcement of the Indian team for Asia Cup 2025. In such a situation, there is a lot of tussle going on between Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, and Captain Suryakumar Yadav regarding the names of the players. Along with the Asia Cup, the selectors are also keeping in mind the Test series against West Indies, which will start on October 2, three days after the Asia Cup final on September 28. 

8 names confirmed in the Asia Cup squad!

Eight names have almost been finalised for Team India's squad, but there are seven players whose names are still under discussion. Team India will go to the Asia Cup under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, because India's T20 captain has also passed the fitness test for this tournament. Suryakumar Yadav had undergone a sports hernia surgery, after which he was under the supervision of the staff members of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), but before the Asia Cup, Suryakumar Yadav has returned as captain. Apart from Suryakumar Yadav, the names of seven more players can be considered confirmed in this list.

  5. Axar Patel
  6. Varun Chakravarthy

  8. Arshdeep Singh

There is a problem regarding the names of 7 players

There are seven players for the Asia Cup whose names are stuck. The selectors are considering these names again and again. The names of all these players are being considered - Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dubey, Jaspreet Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammad Siraj and Shubman Gill.

Sanju Samson- Sanju Samson is the highest run scorer in T20 International last year. Samson scored 436 runs in 13 matches in T20 last year in 2024. But under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Samson could not perform well in the T20 series against England, so Samson's name has not been confirmed yet.

Gill and Siraj- Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Team India has returned after drawing the Test series at 2-2 and after the Asia Cup, India also has to play a two-match Test series against the West Indies. In such a situation, Gill can be given rest. Mohammad Siraj bowled 185.3 overs against England and was included in the Indian team in all five matches. Along with Gill, Siraj can also be saved for the Test series.

Jaspreet Bumrah- The reason behind Jaspreet Bumrah 's name not being confirmed in the team for Asia Cup is the fitness of this fast bowler. Before including Bumrah in the team, the selectors would like to see how fit Bumrah is.

Shreyas Iyer- Shreyas Iyer can strengthen the Indian batting order in the middle order, but at present this player is playing the Duleep Trophy, so there is still a question on Iyer's selection in the Asia Cup.

Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh- The selectors are also brainstorming on the names of Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh. Both these players have the power to come to bat at the end in the T20 format and boost the score with their strong shots. In such a situation, the selectors can also consider these names.
