Shreyas Iyer has been out of India’s T20I setup since Gautam Gambhir took charge as head coach in July 2024, with his last appearance coming way back in December 2023. His comeback, if it happens, could push either Shivam Dube or Rinku Singh out of the Asia Cup 2025 squad.

Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj to miss out on the Asia Cup 2025 squad
Well, the Indian selectors are all set to meet in Mumbai on August 19 to select the squad for the upcoming continental tournament. Even after standout performances in the recent Test series in England, Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj are unlikely to be picked for the tournament.
The problem is that Gill’s runs came in Test cricket and as an IPL opener. For the Asia Cup 2025, the Indian selectors are likely to continue with the opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. Yashasvi Jaiswal is also fighting for a spot as the backup opener, and presently, he is leading the race against Gill.
Jitesh Sharma was almost locked as India’s second wicketkeeper
The middle order also looks set with Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rinku Singh. Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar are competing for the extra batting all-rounder role, and either of them will make the cut. Jitesh Sharma is almost sure to be picked as the second wicketkeeper.
Hardik Pandya will also be part of the pace attack. Mohammed Shami will reportedly not be considered for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Axar Patel are the spin options. Sundar could still make the cut, but he is not guaranteed.
