    A Place Could've Been Created For Shreyas In Asia Cup Reserves: Aakash Chopra

    By IANS News August 20, 2025 • 12:36 PM View: 1071
    Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes Shreyas Iyer should have been named in the reserve players list for the upcoming Asia Cup, citing that it doesn’t give out a great signal in terms of clarity over his T20I future.

    Iyer had amassed 604 runs at a strike rate of 175 in IPL 2025 and led Punjab Kings to being runners-up in the competition. Despite making big improvements in his game against the short ball and hitting spinners for fun in the competition, Iyer didn’t find a place in both 15-member squad for Asia Cup and five reserve players list.

    It was something which left former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar baffled and now Chopra has echoed in same vein. "Shreyas' name is not even there in the five reserves, and that is surprising. It's understandable that you couldn't have him in the 15 as you can't play him in the XI, and you wanted lower-order batters as backup, where Shivam Dube is there, and Rinku Singh will be given another chance, which is absolutely par for the course.
