Shreyas Iyer ruled out of T20 World Cup 2026 ...Middle East

Iyer was omitted from India’s squad, including five standbys, for the Asia Cup, which raised eyebrows. Fans and cricket analysts were surprised, given the Mumbai batter’s strong recent performances in T20 cricket and his leadership abilities. The Asia Cup 2025 is scheduled to begin on September 9 in the UAE.

“After the squad is put, they also put five other standbys. Now, in that five standbys also Shreyas wasn’t there, and that didn’t sit well with me, which basically means they’re not looking at him for the near future, and that would mean for the World Cup," Karthik said.

Dinesh Karthik said that India have won 17 of their last 20 matches under coach Gautam Gambhir. He stated that the coach may be prioritizing players who have consistently delivered results, adding that Shreyas Iyer’s exclusion is understandable.

"So, as a coach, I'm assuming that he has certain players he's looking at who are delivering, who have delivered results for him. So, if he has to make the hard choice of leaving certain players out, I can understand,” he added.
