The announcement of the Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2025 is set to happen today, ending the speculation about which players will represent India in the UAE. The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, will reveal the team at a press conference in Mumbai. The tournament will be played in the T20 format. The selection is a complex process due to the differences between the T20 team and the ODI and Test teams that have been playing over the past year. A meeting of the selection committee and T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav will be held at the BCCI headquarters. The presence of coach Gautam Gambhir is yet to be confirmed. After the meeting, a press conference will be addressed by Agarkar and Suryakumar at approximately 1:30 PM. The selection of some players will likely be the topic of discussion. The performance of players such as Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal is being closely watched. The debate revolves around whether either will be selected as a backup opener or for the number three position. Shreyas Iyer and Rinku Singh’s chances in the middle order will also be determined. Shreyas Iyer has shown great form in the IPL, and Rinku Singh has not had many opportunities. The decisions made by the selection committee will be crucial for these players.
