Meanwhile the countdown for the selection of the team Indian player for 2025 Asia Cup has been started. This time the claims of young batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan are gaining momentum. The team is expected to be selected in the third week of August.

Gill and Jaiswal, who were not seen in the last few T20 matches, have got a month's rest after the tiring 5-Test series against England. Now both are fit and available for selection. On the other hand, Sai Sudarshan has strengthened the confidence of the selectors by performing consistently well.

Workload management and schedule... big challenge

According to BCCI sources, the selection committee is preparing the team keeping all possibilities in mind. If India reaches the Asia Cup final on September 28, then just four days after that, i.e. from October 2, the home Test series against West Indies will begin. In such a situation, balancing the workload of the players will be a big challenge.

Big responsibility for the top order

The Asia Cup will be played in the UAE, where the pitches are considered slow and spin-friendly. Also, considering the T20 World Cup to be held in the next six months, the selectors want batsmen who can give the team a good start in foreign conditions.
