Dubai: India Shreyas Iyer during a heating session before the start of the final cricket match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 between India and New Zealand in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (PTI Photo/Arnu Sharma) New Delhi: When Ajit Agarkar read the Asia Cup 2025 group, there was no mention of Shreyas Iyer in the list of 15 members on Tuesday. It made sense, because it would be almost impossible to accommodate Shaubman Gill and Iyer in Asia Cup Squad, India. Two right -handers, two supreme order doughs and two one -dimensional crickets. In the T20i settings, where Slam-Bang and usefulness would remain key words from the World Cup 2024, would have two doughs of similar forms would be difficult and it looked like a fair call.Until later, five drives were named at a press conference. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna were declared in addition to fifteen platoon and it was incomprehensible to see that Iyer’s name is not in the mixture. The captain, who led two different franchures to the IPL final in consecutive years, went through a lecture with a bat and was an uninhabited Indian trophy campaign in India 2025 masters with his peace in the middle order.
India Asia Cup Squad Tress Conference: Co Ajit Agarkar, Surya said about shocking calls
Is there anything else to do? Not really. Was it unfortunate to miss on the spot? Of course he was. But can we blame selectors and think-tank for not including him in the finals-15? Not really. But is it justified not to include it in Standby? Of course not.Agarkar reiterated that this is not a 2026 World Cup, but it is certainly a strong hint of a direction that is looking for to seek for what report they send to Iyer, who eventually played ODI this year and strengthened his place in XI because Virt Kohli’s late Niggle. Is there more in the game, more than what is visible to the naked eye? Is there an old, annoying problem that affects its chances of choice? Because it can’t just be a cricket decision in the game.

Should Shreyas Iyer be included in the Asia Cup Group?
He was not selected for the team and to England, even after he was so well for Mumbai in the home arrangement. Comfortable justification remained the same – “For whom do we choose it?”“With regard to Shreyas Iyer, who can replace? It is not his fault, but not ours,” was Agarkar’s sharp answer to Iyer’s exclusion.Well, that’s your headache that sorts like a Thinktank. The Indian cricket cannot afford to lose a jewel like Iyer in the White Ball cricket – Odis and T20is – and the leadership must keep these doors open to Iyer, which can be inserted in 3rd place. He only has the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy to break the door and the Swashbuckling dough hopes to stay enough to be in the Multi-RaTion mix next year.
