The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly set to pick and announce India\u2019s squad for the 2025 Asia Cup on Tuesday, August 19. According to a report in\u00a0The Times of India<\/em>, the meeting will be attended by captain Suryakumar Yadav, who\u2019ll fly in from the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru to Mumbai.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be followed by a press conference from chief selector Ajit Agarkar, as has been customary during his tenure. This is an important squad selection for India, considering this tournament will give insights into the selectors\u2019 and captain\u2019s vision for the 2026 T20 World Cup in the subcontinent.<\/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,” the report cited a BCCI source as saying.<\/p>\n

India are in Group \u2018A\u2019 of the tournament and will begin their campaign against UAE on September 10.<\/p>\n

Important questions for India\u2019s 2025 Asia Cup squad<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are several unanswered questions about this squad selection, which will probably be discussed in the meeting. A key one is about other-format personnel, players who have been doing well in Tests and ODIs, and whether they warrant a selection here.<\/p>\n

These include Test skipper Shubman Gill, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, and ODI number four star Shreyas Iyer. Rumors also claim that Gill could be picked as a vice-captain, though that would mean a demotion for Axar Patel, who was Suryakumar\u2019s deputy in the last series, against England at home.<\/p>\n

If Patel, 31, is stuck to as the vice-captain, it\u2019ll indicate that the team is happy for him to be the eventual heir for Suryakumar, 34, as of now. Other options like Hardik Pandya could also be in frame.<\/p>\n

Another thing to look forward to would be Jasprit Bumrah\u2019s availability. He not only missed out on the last Test in England (which was expected because he had said he\u2019ll only play three), but also left the squad early, raising fears of another injury. Agarkar should provide clarity over his future.<\/p>\n
