    Asia Cup 2025: Gill Comes Back Along With Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav; Shreyas Iyer Left Out (Ld)

    Asia Cup T20I: The national selectors for the men's team sprung a pleasant surprise for the Test team captain Shubman Gill by including him in the T20I team and elevating him as vice-captain under Suryakumar Yadav while at the same time bringing in T20 World Cup stars Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav for the Asia Cup, to be held in the United Arab Emirates from September 9.

    The Ajit Agarkar-led committee attempted to strike a balance, giving preference to T20 credentials for some players while accommodating the biggest star of the Indian cricket firmament - Shubman Gill, clearly indicating that current form will not be ignored, even if that was in the longest format. Gill was the star of India's tour of England, compiling a mammoth 752 runs, including a double century.

    The one big omission that has set the debate going is Shreyas Iyer failing to find a place in the 15-member squad despite a stellar performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The selectors, however, did not pick Mohammed Siraj, another one who did well for India in England, playing all five Test matches, helping the visitors draw the series 2-2 with a lionhearted effort in the final Test.
