Shubman Gill is expected to captain the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, set to be held in the United Arab Emirates from September 9 to 28. Gill, who currently leads the Indian Test side, gains a sensational promotion over Suryakumar Yadav, who is reportedly still on the road to recovery. The decision marks a major shift in India’s T20 leadership.
The Indian squad is seeing significant changes after the recent England tour. Notably, there is speculation about the return of Shreyas Iyer and the inclusion of young talents like Sai Sudharsan, who impressed in the IPL. However, Shubman Gill might not play the T20 International series before Asia Cup due to his commitments as the captain of North Zone in the upcoming Duleep Trophy starting August 28.
Rishabh Pant will miss the Asia Cup because of a foot injury sustained during the fourth Test against England, adding to the squad’s reshuffle challenges. Meanwhile, the team will open its Asia Cup campaign against the United Arab Emirates on September 10.
This strategic reshuffle reflects India’s committed push for emerging talents and fresh dynamics in the T20 format in Asia’s premier cricket tournament.
