Shubman likely to miss, Yashasvi to get nod in India's Asia Cup squad: Report

India Asia Cup 2025 Squad: India’s preparations for the T20 World Cup in February 2026 are set to begin in earnest with the Asia Cup in the UAE. The tournament kicks off on September 9, with India taking the field a day later. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is expected to announce the squad on Tuesday, a move that could reveal India’s blueprint for defending its global crown.

With only five T20Is played in 2025 so far, selectors face a delicate balancing act between established names and rising contenders.

The top-order equation is far from settled. Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have been India’s go-to opening duo in the past 12 T20Is.
