Shreyas Iyer’s shocking lapse from India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 has become one of the hottest debate among the cricket fraternity in the cricket world. Reacting to the controversy, former Sri Lankan all -rounder Farvez Maharoff made a bold remarks.
Maharof said that Shreyas Iyer’s snob is nothing with the form or lack of capacity, but it is just that the breakdown in the current Indian cricket team has become one of the most difficult jobs in world cricket. He also said that the strength of India’s bench has reached the shocking levels, where one place becomes the biggest challenge of the player.

And the results speak for themselves. Since the victory of their T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team has won the T20I series continuously against Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Africa and England. His last defeat in the format returned against the West Indies in August 2023.

Farways Maharof was said by the Sports Tac: “There are many players to choose from there; for example, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer cannot find a place in the Indian side, which reflects the strength of the Indian setup. It is just coming with paper.
Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik has openly questioned Iyer’s decision by the decision of Indian selectors. Former Indian wicketkeeper Batter said that Iyer’s Asia Cup 2025 snub suggests that the doors may close on one of the most trusted batsmen in India.

Dinesh Karthik warns Indian selectors against Shreyas Iyer closing the doors
In particular, Iyer has not only been ignored by the main squad, but also failed to secure a place even among the stores, and Karthik felt that it was a really unfair call, especially taking into account the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
Dinesh Karthik said in a video on Instagram, “Where is Shreyas Iyer? It’s not a big question, how can he remember? At one point, it is understood. It is not a part of 15, seeing how well Team India has done. How well has the last 20 of the last 20, so 17 they have lived, hence fine, appropriate.”
Cricket Pandit further explained, “But it is not making him a part of the other five players, which you have taken into consideration with the T20 World Cup for the near future? Closing the doors on it? It’s a bit unfair, and I hope it does not happen because he has worked well as a leader, but is also better as a batsman.”
