Team India squad Announcement for Asia Cup 2025: The Indian team for the Asia Cup is going to be announced soon. The selection committee meeting to select the team for this tournament can be held in Mumbai, after which it will be clear which player will get a chance and who will be dropped.
T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav will also attend the selection panel meeting. Discussions have been going on for the last several days about Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal joining the Indian team for the Asia Cup. The Asia Cup is to be held in the UAE from September 9 to 28. Under Gill's leadership, India recently performed well on the England tour and Yashasvi was also successful in leaving his mark. However, according to media reports, it is difficult for Gill and Yashasvi to make a place in the team for the Asia Cup.

Six contenders in the top order
There is currently no dearth of talented T20 players in Indian cricket as there are at least 30 players who are ready to join the national team. There are three to four options for the same position. There are six players for the top three positions. Last season, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Tilak Verma performed brilliantly in the top order, but at the same time Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan, who won the Orange Cap in IPL 2025, are no less.

Looking for an experienced batsman in the middle order

Report: Report: 3 bold decisions
A report is coming out, according to which, the selection committee can take three bold decisions during the meeting. Let's know about these decisions.
According to the report, there is no place for Shubman Gill in the team for Asia Cup 2025. The selection committee can field the pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson for opening.
At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the third option for opening. However, Gill can get a chance only if coach Gautam Gambhir insists on selecting him. If this happens, Yashasvi will be dropped again.
Despite taking the most wickets for India on the England tour, Mohammed Siraj can be dropped for Asia Cup 2025.
Jasprit Bumrah can be selected for this tournament. Siraj's selection has become quite challenging. Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana are available for the second pace bowling option. Mohammed Shami may also not be selected.
Shreyas Iyer, who performed brilliantly in the middle order in IPL 2025, may be dropped for the T20I Asia Cup selection. Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh can be selected for the middle order, while Shivam Dubey and Washington Sundar can get a place in the team along with Hardik Pandya for the all-rounder.
