In a surprising turn of events, cricketer Shreyas Iyer has been left out of India’s Asia Cup squad, raising questions about the selection criteria amid the country’s deep talent pool.
Iyer, who historically led Kolkata Knight Riders to an IPL victory and delivered a stellar performance in the 2025 season, now faces uncertainty regarding future selections.
His exclusion comes as star pacer Jasprit Bumrah returns, bringing a strategic focus on managing player workloads as India eyes another Asia Cup title.
As the team gears up for the T20 Asia Cup in the UAE starting September 9, experts like Dahiya maintain optimism for India, labeling them as clear favourites, contingent on individual performances and maintaining player fitness throughout this demanding tournament.
