The demand for boycott of the match against Pakistan has been raised even before the schedule of Asia Cup was released. Many other cricketers including Harbhajan Singh, Kedar Jadhav have also made this demand to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Former Indian cricketer Kedar Jadhav said that India should not play this match. Let us tell you that the Asia Cup will start from September 9 in UAE while the Indian team will start its campaign on September 10. The Indian team will face Pakistan on September 14. Before this match, Indian fans have demanded Team India to boycott the match.
Combining all three formats, Babar has played 72 innings since September 2023 and has not been able to score a century. During this time he has scored 2139 runs and the average has been 31.45. These include 18 half-centuries and the best innings has been of 81 runs.
Pakistan's team for Asia Cup T20 has been announced. For the first time since the 2018 Asia Cup, neither Babar Azam nor Mohammad Rizwan will be in Pakistan's team for this tournament. According to Pakistani media reports, both these players have been dropped from the T20 plans for now. These two players, once considered the main pillars of the team, are now struggling to find a place in the squad.
Gill's explosive form in the recent IPL 2025 also strengthened this decision. While captaining Gujarat Titans, he scored 650 runs, averaged more than 50 and played many important innings. This performance brought him back to the vice-captaincy. Agarkar also made it clear that with Gill's return, there will be a change in the opening combination. Earlier Sanju Samson was opening, but now Gill and Abhishek Sharma are being considered as a possible pair. However, the final decision will be taken by captain Suryakumar Yadav and the coach.
Shreyas' absence from the team is surprising. Shreyas's bat was very good in the IPL and he led Punjab Kings to the finals under his captaincy. Despite all this, he was ignored in the team selection.
Agarkar said, as far as Yashasvi Jaiswal is concerned, it is unfortunate. You see how Abhishek Sharma has done his job and he can also bowl, so Yashasvi will have to wait. Same is the case with Shreyas Iyer. It is not his fault. We had the opportunity to select only 15 players. If there was space, we would have definitely made Shreyas a part of the team.
