On Saturday, the BCCI revealed a long list of 30 players who would be eligible to be selected for the Asian Games. Most notably, current ODI skipper Shubman Gill and current T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav were both absent from the list.
A senior BCCI source has told TOI that the selectors decided all the way back in Januray itself that Suryakumar Yadav would not be included in the Asian Games squad.
The final 15 out of the long list of 30 will be selected in the second week of June. The last date to make changes to the longlist was on May 14.
"Suryakumar Yadav's future as captain at stake" - BCCI source
The same source further said that a call on whether to continue with Suryakumar as T20I captain will also be taken in the selection meeting to finalize the Asian Games squad.
Suryakumar Yadav has been woefully out of form across both international cricket and the IPL for the better part of the last two years. This arguably means that he is likely to be the focus of these selection meetings.
Shubman Gill is missing due to a clash with the West Indies ODIs
While the reason has not been made official, it is widely believed that the main reason Shubman Gill was not chosen for the Asian Games was due to the Games clashing with India's home series against the West Indies.
