4. Rishabh Pant
India’s wicketkeeper Batter Rishabh Pant will not be part of the squad for the Asia Cup 2025, depicted in the 2022 Asia Cup, the last time the tournament was played in the T20 format.
He was on cards after being injured while batting in a penaltimet Test match against England.
The absence of pants has provided an opportunity to Jitesh Sharma, which was not able to perform continuously since his debut in 2023, and would like to do this this time because India wants to protect its title.
3. Yashsvi Jaiswal
One of the most discussed exclusion from India’s 15-member squad for the Asia Cup 2025, which will be played in the T20I format this year, was of Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The left -handed batsman is one of the few batsmen who scored a hundred for India in T20I and have performed continuously for the team with aggressive intentions on top of the order.
Saying that, Jaiswal has been selected as one of the five reserve players who will travel with the squad throughout the competition.
2. KL Rahul
KL Rahul, who had a decent IPL 2025 season, was ignored as an alternative to India in the Asia Cup. Rahul, who lasts in T20Is for India in 2022, scored more than 450 runs for Delhi capitals.
Rahul could have been a backup opener in the Asia Cup 2025 as well as a wicketkeeping option, which could give the team flexibility as far as the selection of the game XI is concerned.
1. Shreyas Iyer
An in-form an Indian batsman who can play in any situation in the order of batting, ie, Shreyas Iyer, when we talk about the selection of India’s 15-member squad for the Asia Cup 2025, was done.
Shreyas was brilliant in the 2025 IPL season as he directed Punjab Kings in the IPL final for the first time since 2014.
Even as a batsman, Shreyas scored more than 600 runs at a strike rate of 175, but was not enough to earn a place in India’s T20 schemes due to the team’s combination.
Iyer, who was an important part of India’s 2025 Champions Trophy win, would have to wait for his chance to get his chance in the T20I team.
