One of the remarkable Omitting from the Indian Asia Cup 2025 Squad is Shreyas Iyer. His career T20 has been on the trajectory up since 2024, when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) led their third IPL title. In 2025 it followed another excellent season and managed the pandjab Kings only for its second finals in 11 years. His performance, however, was not enough to ensure the memory of the national side.
Former England Spinner Monty Panesar believes that Iyer’s credentials may have been against him, and claims that the Indian team already has a firmly established core of the management.
“One of the reasons why Shreyas Iyer is probably trying to get into the Indian group is to bring these leadership skills and maybe cover it at the moment. It gives them an opportunity to bring someone younger, a little more exciting to play that it would be easier to handle for coach Gautam Gambhira,” Idiadoday said.
Iyer enjoyed his best IPL season in 2025 and accumulated 604 runs in 17 matches at a staggering striking speed of 175. The middle order dough rediscovered his game and faced blisters Pandjab Kings. He placed the goals of the team over personal milestones and accepted the risk, but was able to combine them with success and consistency.
Since India has accepted the fearless approach in T20is under former Captain Rohit Sharma and former coach Rahul Dravid, the preference for the dough was willing to play without fear of failure.
Still, Shreyas Iyer finds herself on the outsideDespite the fact that he has accepted this very philosophy in his game.
Why?
“So I think he’s a captain in IPL, it’s a little difficult for him to get into this team. But I believe that if he scoring he should play. But it’s just talent, talent is incredible.
Play Bumrah More in T20is: Panesar
Panesar, who played a key role in the English historical series in India in 2012, also plunged light on another burning theme – Jasprit Bumhrah’s Workware Management. The former spinner of the left arm suggested that Bumrah holds more value for India in T20is than in tests or ODI in preparation for the next year’s World Cup T20.
The Premier Fast Bowler in the world returns to a format that first throws him into the center of attention, because Jasprit Bumrah will become his return T20i after more than 14 months. Last time he performed in the shortest format, he made a campaign for ages and ended up as a tournament player in the Indian triumphal run of the T20 T20 World Cup.
With 15 goals in eight matches on average 8.26 and barely believable economic rate of 4.17-best ever in one edition of the-World Bowler on World No. 1 reaffirmed his character as the most beautiful in the shortest game format.
Recently, however, Bumrah caused criticism of his workload administrationAfter he was rested for two out of five tests in a recent series against England. And while in the three matches he played, he still claimed that in the three matches he played, according to his noble standards, they were considered modest.
“He has an unorthodox action, so I think it is difficult for him to play with his back, probably require a lot of tension on his body than someone who has a traditional bowling event. So he probably needs, but I think the T20 is its strongest format.”
After the Asia Cup 2025 starting with September 9, Panesar also chose India as his favorite companies to win the tournament, given the balance of their party.
“India is a fixed favorite to win it. They look like the strongest team. They have the strongest team. It is obvious that their detachment and bowling departments look very strong. The spin department also looks great,” said former spinner left arm.
Big score, win ash
When India shifted its focus on T20is in an effort to defend the crown of the world in 2026, England has recently been preparing for its most pleasant test – ashes in Australia. Three lions have not won a series since 2011, when they secured the triumph 3-1.
Since then, England has been comprehensively defeated 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 in its last three, while occasional draws were considered a moral victory.
With another series in Australia scheduled for November, Monty Panesar believes that the publication of considerable sums of the first shifts will be essential for Ben Stokes. He warned that England could not afford to waste strong positions through paats.
“The Key for England is Going to Be Scoring 400 Runs in the First Innings, 400 to 450. In England, You Can Get to 300 in Maybe 50 OR 60 Overs, And You’re Still in the Game. But in Australia You Can’t Afford to that. IWE TO 450, Not Just Get Bowled Out for 330 with Everyone Playing Big Shots. Australia.
Panesar was also thinking about the disadvantages of England’s aggressive style in tests under Captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, who widely dubbed the “Bazball” media. He warned the team of being too aggressive in his approach.
“They will continue to play Bazball, because that’s the only way they know how to play. And I think it would be a disappointment for an English fan if they were in a position where a team could score 450-500, they should play a little traditional cricket, but they probably won’t.
“So in Australia, you may have to reduce Bazball and look like you will play a more traditional cricket, be a little more aggressive, but if it weren’t too aggressive, as it was in Bazball,” he said.
