The Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025 is expected to be announced soon. There’s considerable debate over the final 15 players selected, with even the places of players like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal not guaranteed. The choices for openers, Bumrah’s availability, and the wicketkeeper selection are all matters of discussion. Amidst the uncertainty, Harsha Bhogle, a well-known commentator, has announced his predicted team for the Asia Cup, outlining the players he believes should represent India in the tournament.
Bhogle’s team includes four specialist batsmen. Suryakumar Yadav is named captain, with Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma also making the team. Shreyas Iyer, who excelled in the IPL, is the fourth specialist batsman, while Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are omitted. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeeping choices.
Bhogle’s squad includes four all-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Shivam Mavi, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar.
In a surprising move, Prasidh Krishna is included in the team, along with Kuldeep Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Varun Chakravarthy complete the bowling attack.
