India is gearing up for the Asia Cup 2025 starting on September 10 with a squad selection that has raised eyebrows due to some surprising comebacks after a four-year hiatus. The Indian cricket team will kick off their campaign against the UAE, generating excitement among fans nationwide.
Squad Highlights and Selection Uncertainty
Shubman Gill has been named captain of the North Zone for the upcoming Duleep Trophy, set to begin on August 28. Despite this appointment, his inclusion in the Asia Cup squad remains uncertain as the team management evaluates standout performers such as Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson.
Injury Setback
Rishabh Pant will miss the Asia Cup due to a foot injury he sustained during the India-England Test series. This injury also puts his availability for future fixtures, including the West Indies Tests, in doubt.
Expected Announcement and Leadership Rumors
The full Indian squad is expected to be revealed in the third week of August. Top performers from the 2025 IPL season are expected to secure their spots. Speculation suggests that Suryakumar Yadav may captain the T20 squad, adding further anticipation to the team announcement.
Team’s Return to Regional Competition
India last played a T20I match in February 2025 and is now returning after a six-month break. The team aims to make a significant impact in this important regional tournament.
