The India cricket team is undergoing significant changes in its squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. Key players are either making comebacks or facing unexpected absences. Jasprit Bumrah, a vital fast bowler, is ruled out due to workload management, while Shreyas Iyer returns to the squad following strong performances in the IPL. The fitness of Rishabh Pant remains doubtful due to injury concerns, and Suryakumar Yadav’s recovery could result in Hardik Pandya leading the team. Additionally, young pacer Harshit Rana may make his debut, adding fresh energy to the bowling attack. Spin options include Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy. The batting lineup looks robust with KL Rahul, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson expected to play key roles.
Shubman Gill, the Indian Test captain, is likely to make a T20 International comeback but faces competition within the playing XI. The team is finalizing preparations ahead of the Asia Cup matches commencing in September, with the highly awaited India vs Pakistan game scheduled for September 14. Fans eagerly await the official squad announcement expected in the third week of August. This reshuffled squad aims to bring fresh momentum to India’s campaign in Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates, where the tournament will be held.
