Who Knows What Is Going On Behind Closed Doors, Says De Villiers On Iyer’s Asia Cup Omission
Former South Africa: Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers weighed in on Shreyas Iyer’s omission from India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, saying, ‘who knows what is going on behind closed doors’ while expressing surprise over his exclusion.
Iyer, who has not featured in T20Is for India since December 2023, was not included in the Suryakumar Yadav-led 15-member Asia Cup squad announced on Tuesday by chief selector Ajit Agarkar at the BCCI HQ.
What left everyone surprised was his not being named, even in the five stand-by players list for the competition happening in the UAE from September 9-28. Iyer, 30, had scored 604 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 175 and an average of 50.33 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 while captaining Punjab Kings to a runners-up finish in the competition.
