photoDetails english 2946765 Updated:Aug 16, 2025, 11:32 AM IST Players Who Can Make Way 1 / 8 Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are almost certain to be included in India's Asia Cup 2025 squad. Both players have shown consistent performances recently and are expected to play key roles in the upcoming tournament. Their inclusion signals a fresh strategy for the Indian team. Iyer Comeback, Shubman VC 2 / 8 Reports indicate Shubman Gill could even be named vice-captain for the Asia Cup squad, highlighting the team's trust in his leadership. This decision may strengthen the batting lineup and bring stability to the side. Gill's presence is seen as crucial for India's campaign in the UAE. Here are 5 Players that can be ignored to make way for the duo- Rinku Singh 3 / 8 Rinku Singh's spot in the squad appears to be in jeopardy due to Shubman Gill's arrival. Despite Rinku's explosive IPL 2023 performance, including hitting five consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal for KKR, his selection is not guaranteed. The competition for the finisher's role remains fierce. Tilak Varma 4 / 8 Tilak Varma, a young and talented batter, could also miss out on the Asia Cup squad. Although he has shown promise, the preference for experienced players like Gill and Iyer might limit his chances. His IPL performances will play a big role in his future selections. Riyan Parag 5 / 8 Riyang Parag is another player who may be overlooked in this squad. Despite flashes of brilliance, inconsistency in recent matches has hurt his chances. The selectors appear to favor players with more recent success and form. Ramandeep Singh 6 / 8 Ramandeep Singh, known for his all-round abilities, could be on the edge of selection. While his potential is recognized, stiff competition from other multi-dimensional players might push him out of contention. His IPL showings will be critical for making a comeback. Yashasvi Jaiswal 7 / 8 Yashasvi Jaiswal is similarly at risk of exclusion as the team manages limited squad spots. The selectors are likely to prioritize players who have demonstrated consistent impact and match-winning capabilities in recent tournaments and IPL seasons. IPL Performances Criteria 8 / 8 The IPL performances of these players could be a significant reason behind their possible snubbing for the Asia Cup. The tournament demands form and fitness, and players struggling to maintain consistency in IPL may face tough calls by the selection panel. The India squad aims for a balance of experience and current form to boost their chances in the 2025 Asia Cup.

Washington Sundar's sister Shailaja reveals how they build good partnerships: ‘Open the innings for our team…I'm a right-hander and he's a left-hander'
One of the revelations of the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar trophy has been Washington Sundar. The all-rounder bowled crucial spells through the series and also chipped in with important cameos with the bat. His sister Shailaja Sundar revealed how thankful they were for Head Coach Gautam Gambhir in giving Sundar the opportunity, and she also recalled the memories of them playing as a team. 'We used to play together and open the innings for our team', she said. 'I'm a right-hander and he's a left-hander. The right-left combination used to work. We used to build really good partnerships. All of those are lovely memories now,' Shailaja said speaking on NDTV podcast. The stats have already been indicating Washington at 25 has been the best in extracting the drift, Raju believes he can get even better from here on. 'If he bowls a lot in domestic cricket or in the net session. Consistency will improve. On a sub-continent Indian wicket, not a problem. There will be little help for Spin. So, he was quite decent when he played in Australia. But he didn't get much to bowl. The more he bowls, he will be a better bowler.' And that can only be good news for India as by the time they travel to a proper full tour overseas, Washington can be the leading spin allrounder of the team. According to Cricviz, it is the drift that has been the most potent weapon for spinners to pick wickets in England and since 2006 among all the spinners bowled in England, it is Washington who has been able to get the maximum amount of it. (2.7 degrees). 'It's all about how you finish (bowling action), how you release. A little more early release. Then you're giving more repetition, it is how you use your body to get that revolution,' says Raju.

Known for his left-arm pace and ability to change games with the ball, Irfan played key roles for the side in many matches, earning respect for his all-round contributions. Yet, behind the performances, he recently opened up about a lesser-known tension from his playing days, hinting it might have occurred during a series against Sri Lanka or Pakistan, without revealing the exact match. Irfan Pathan during his playing days(Getty) Irfan revealed that a senior player in the Indian team turned upset when the all-rounder, then a youngster, was sent at no.3 in the batting order. The senior player, as Irfan revealed, considered himself a better batter and not only took offence at the decision, but also turned physical against Irfan. 'I didn't say anything; I was quite young. He was someone who thought he was a better batter than me. There is no point in disrespecting someone by taking names. There is no permanent friendship or rivalry in cricket,' Irfan said he recalled the incident during a chat with TheLallantop. "It was said, 'Yeh kyu mere se upar jaa raha hai batting karne?' )Why is he batting above me?)," Irfan recalled, referring to a senior teammate who got upset when he was promoted above him in the batting order. When asked if the jersey was pulled in frustration, Irfan confirmed, "yes. This was a senior player." None of the legends The host took the names of India's legendary players like Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, and VVS Laxman, but Irfan was quick to confirm the player wasn't any of the five. "It wasn't Dada. In fact, Dada was someone who sacrificed his own position for others." 'I will make this clear that it wasn't Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, or Sachin Tendulkar. He thought he was a more capable batter, and the captain also listened to him and promoted him, but he got out early in that match.'
