The Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2025 is anticipated to be announced soon. Much speculation surrounds the selection of the 15-player team, with uncertainty even regarding the inclusion of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Decisions on opening batsmen, Bumrah’s participation, and wicketkeeper selection are under scrutiny. In this context, commentator Harsha Bhogle has announced his team for the Asia Cup, outlining the players he believes should be included in the Indian team.
Bhogle’s team features four specialist batsmen, with Suryakumar Yadav as captain. Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma are also included. Shreyas Iyer, who performed well in the IPL, is the fourth specialist batsman, while Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are not selected. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the wicketkeeper choices.
Bhogle has selected four all-rounders for the Asia Cup squad: Hardik Pandya, Shivam Mavi, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar.
Prasidh Krishna is included, representing a surprising choice. Kuldeep Yadav is also selected. The bowling lineup includes Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Varun Chakravarthy.
