Will Shubman Gill open the batting for India? Will Shreyas Iyer be part of the Indian team? Is Sanju Samson out of the Asia Cup 2025?
Answering these questions here is difficult. New reports coming from other sources are not completely authentic. However, we will give you each information with facts. Shubman Gill has performed well in the last series against England. Now here comes a question: will he be or will he not be the squad member?
Asia Cup 2025 live update
According to sources, BCCI has just shared an official update about this squad and Shubman Gill’s addition. One of the BCCI officials shared an update to the Indian Express that Shubman Gill’s chances in teh squad are slim. They completely explained that he has won a test series, not a T20I series. He added that BCCI wants to make sure no players should face unfair behaviour. BCCI accepts his performance and skills. However, if they add Shubman Gill as the opener, it will be unfair to Sanju Samson.
Sanju has a good average and strike rate in the T20Is. No one can neglect his performances in T20Is. It reduces the chance of Shubman Gill’s participation in the Asia Cup 2025.
Talking about Jaiswal, he can be selected as the third opener in the reserve category. It means if one of the openers gets injured, he will replace the injured one. Here is another question, Why Jaiswal, Why not Shubman Gill?
Shubman Gill is a top-class player. If BCCI selects him in teh squad, he will definitely play. There is no chance of him sitting on the bench while the team is playing. So, Jaiswal can sit on the bench and wait if his count comes.
Shreyasd Iyer’s performance makes him eligible for the Asia Cup 2025. He has shown his class in the 2024 IPL, Champions Trophy 2025 and the IPL 2025. He should have been picked in the squad.
There is no solid news about Iyer’s selection in the India squad for the Asia Cup 2025. Tilak Varma can be a better option if selectors do not choose Shreyas. However, if BCCI selects him in the squad, he will play at number 3 or 4. Here is a complete list of all contenders for the Asia Cup 2025.

Will Siraj be part of the India squad for the Asia Cup 2025?
Muhammad Siraj’s performance cannot be abandoned. However, Bumrah has now returned and recovered from teh injury. So, he will be the first choice.
The India squad is about to be announced today. Be ready to get a complete update of the squad with the strengths and weaknesses of players.
