Defending champions India have revealed their 15-member squad for the Asia Cup 2025, scheduled in the United Arab Emirates next month. The team sees the return of several key players, strengthening their chances of winning a record-extending ninth title.
Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian side as captain. His leadership is expected to play a crucial role in guiding the team through the tournament. The squad includes a balanced mix of experienced players and young talents.
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah makes a comeback to white-ball cricket after focusing on Test matches since the 2024 World Cup. Bumrah missed several limited-overs series, including the Champions Trophy, making his return highly anticipated by fans and analysts alike.
The squad also features prominent batsmen such as Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, and Abhishek Sharma. All-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube add depth to both batting and bowling departments.
The spin attack will be led by Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy, offering versatility in the middle overs.
Wicketkeepers Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma complete the playing eleven along with Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana in the pace attack. Rinku Singh brings additional experience and finishing skills to the lineup.
India has also named a list of reserve players, including Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal’s inclusion as a reserve provides promising backup options for the team during the Asia Cup 2025.
Cricket enthusiasts are eager to see India defend their title in the UAE. The Asia Cup 2025 promises thrilling contests as teams across Asia prepare to compete at the highest level. Analysts suggest that India’s combination of experienced stars and emerging talents gives them a strong chance of retaining the championship.
