Young left-handed opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will not be part of India\u2019s Asia Cup 2025 squad. According to a report in the Times of India on Thursday (August 14), which quoted a BCCI source as saying, the 23-year-old left-handed batter from Mumbai has been told to focus on red-ball cricket. Jaiswal has scored a total of 723 runs in 23 T20Is for India. He made a case for selection in India\u2019s Asia Cup 2025 squad by scoring 559 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith India looking to persist with the opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, Gill is currently struggling to even make it to the side. Even Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had a great series in England, and middle-order bat Shreys Iyer are likely not to be picked for the T20 side. Jaiswal has been told by the selectors to focus on red-ball cricket,” a BCCI source told TOI.<\/p>\n

The 2025 edition of the Asia Cup will be played in T20I format from September 9 to 28 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

The Indian men\u2019s team will open their campaign on September 10 against the UAE in Dubai and then take on Pakistan in their second Group A match on September 14. India\u2019s third Group A match is scheduled against Oman in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

According to the BCCI source, India\u2019s team for the Asia Cup 2025 will be picked on August 19, and after the selection meeting in Mumbai, India\u2019s chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, will attend a press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, the team for the Asia Cup will be picked on Aug 19 in Mumbai. The selection committee meeting will be followed by a press conference by chief selector, former India pacer Ajit Agarkar,” a source in the BCCI said.<\/p>\n

It has also been reported that India\u2019s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, will fly from Bengaluru to Mumbai for the selection meeting. The news of Surya attending the selection committee is a clear indication that the 35-year-old right-handed batter from Mumbai will captain the Men in Blue in the eight-team tournament.<\/p>\n

India last played a T20I match in 2025 on February 2 against England at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and secured a win by 150 runs. In that match, world No. 1 T20I batter Abhishek Sharma scored 135 runs from just 54 balls.<\/p>\n
