Hold your breath, cricket fans! The India Asia Cup 2025 squad has been revealed in a much-awaited selection meeting in vibrant Mumbai. Suryakumar Yadav will captain the team, with young star Shubman Gill named as the vice-captain, stirring excitement and some tricky questions about team spots. The India squad for the Asia Cup includes fiery opener Abhishek Sharma, consistent Sanju Samson, and in-form batsmen Tilak Varma and Sai Sudharsan, alongside Rinku Singh and all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. The spin department looks spicy with Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar all aiming to confuse batsmen in the UAE's slow wickets. Fast bowling trio Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana complete the bowling arsenal, giving India a fierce edge. The Asia Cup tournament will be held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi from September 9 to 28, featuring eight teams including India, Pakistan, UAE, Oman, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. India is pitted in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE and Oman, setting the stage for thrilling clashes, especially the much-anticipated India-Pakistan match on September 14 in Dubai. A hot topic surrounds Shubman Gill’s inclusion. Despite his stellar Test captaincy run in England, fitting him into India’s already sizzling T20 team is a puzzle. With Suryakumar’s strong leadership and an 85% win rate in T20Is, the selectors debate whether to disturb the winning combo or back Gill’s bright future as India’s all-format leader. Mumbai’s weather played spoil sport, delaying the squad announcement press conference. But cricket lovers nationwide are buzzing over the solid team blend — fiery batsmen, crafty spinners, and pace to die for. On the Pakistan front, captain Salman Ali Agha leads a fresh squad missing stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, stirring debates across cricket circles. Pakistan prepares with a tri-series in Sharjah against Afghanistan and UAE. Former India cricketer Chetan Sharma confidently predicts India’s triumph in UAE, backing the team’s strong form and style. Meanwhile, fingers are crossed for a smooth campaign from September 9, as India look to add another Asia Cup to their trophy cabinet. The women's ODI World Cup squad announcement is also just around the corner, promising more fireworks in Indian cricket. In short, the stage is set for an action-packed, nail-biting Asia Cup 2025. Will Shubman Gill’s calm charm lead India to glory? Can Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy keep India’s winning streak alive?
