Why Wasn’t Shreyas Iyer Picked In India’s Squad For Asia Cup 2025? Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar Says THIS

India have announced their 15-member squad for the Asia Cup 2025, which will be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 9 to 28. Suryakumar Yadav will captain India in next month’s Asia Cup as the team looks to clinch a record-extending ninth title.

Interestingly, star batter Shreyas Iyer failed to get a place in India squad for the Asia Cup 2025 despite his superb performance for Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 season.

Shreyas, the Punjab Kings captain, led from the front during IPL 2025 and took his team to the final, where they lost to RCB by 6 runs. He scored 604 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 175.07 during the IPL 2025 season, showcasing exceptional batting form.

After his impressive show in the IPL 2025, Shreyas was expected to be picked in the India squad for the Asia Cup 2025. However, chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar said that Iyer will have to wait for his chances.

“With regard to Shreyas, who can he replace? No fault of his, nor is it ours. At the moment, you can just pick 15. So he will have to wait for his chance,” said Agarkar in the press conference.
