Shreyas Iyer Told What He Needs To Possess After Shocking Asia Cup Snub By BCCI
Following a fiery Indian Premier League (IPL) season with the bat and with the Asia Cup approaching in the T20 format, there was speculation over whether Shreyas Iyer would return to the shortest format. However, the Ajit Agarkar -led selection committee chose not to include the stylish batter in the squad. Despite the omission, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressed strong faith in Iyer's future in T20 cricket, backing him not just as a player but also suggesting that he will be part of the leadership group in the days to come. Taking to his official X handle, Pathan wrote: "There is no doubt in my mind that @ShreyasIyer15 will not only be in the T20 side, but he will be part of the leadership group too. Patience is the key for him at the moment." There is no doubt in my mind that @ShreyasIyer15 will not only be in the t20 side but he will be part of the leadership group too. Patience is the key for him at the moment. — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) August 19, 2025 Iyer, who has been a key presence in India's middle order across formats, has faced challenges with form and fitness in the past. Since India's last T20 World Cup triumph, Shreyas Iyer has played 26 matches and scored 949 runs at an average of 49.94 and a strike rate of 179.73, with one century and seven fifties. His best score is 130 not out. India will kick off their campaign against the UAE on September 10, while the high-voltage clash against Pakistan is scheduled for September 14, with both fixtures set to be played in Dubai. India will play their final group-stage fixture against Oman on September 19 in Abu Dhabi. After the group stage, the tournament will proceed to the Super 4, where the top two teams from each group will qualify. If India finish at the top of Group A, all of their Super 4 matches will be held in Dubai. If India finish second, then one of their Super 4 matches will be held in Abu Dhabi and the remaining two in Dubai. The Super 4 stage will run from September 20 to 26. Dubai will host the final, scheduled for September 28. Team India squad for the Asia Cup: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh

Watch: Dewald Brevis Starts Off ODI Career With A Six, Stunned On Next Ball By SRH Star
Dewald Brevis ' ODI debut for South Africa lasted just two balls -- dismissed for a two-ball six in the series opener against Australia at Cairns. After smoking a monstrous off the first ball he faced from Travis Head, Brevis tried to do same on the next ball. However, he could only find Alex Carey in the deep at wide long-on. The 22-year-old came into the series opener fresh from his exploits in T20I rubber last week, where he amassed 180 runs in three matches, including a rollicking 41-ball century in Darwin and follow up with a blazing half-century in Cairns. Meanwhile, South Africa posted 296-8 after being sent into bat. Sent in to bat, Markram -- opening for the first time in ODIs since 2021 -- crunched nine boundaries to get South Africa off to a strong start. Skipper Temba Bavuma (65) and Matthew Breetzke (57) also helped set a tone for the three-match ODI series. South Africa have so far rebounded well following a 2-1 defeat in the Twenty20 series between the teams. With an eye towards the 2027 50-over World Cup, Australia are in the midst of transition after the retirements of veteran batters Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell following March's Champions Trophy. But South Africa's task of defending the total will be more difficult after quick bowler Kagiso Rabada was ruled out of the series with an ankle injury. South Africa eased to 68-0 in sunny conditions before Ryan Rickelton on 25 successfully reviewed an lbw decision against part-time spinner Travis Head. Moments later he survived another scare against Head when wicketkeeper Josh Inglis dropped a thick edge. His luck ended on 33 when he hit straight to mid-off, brightening Head's mood. An unruffled Markram appeared to be cruising to his fourth ODI century before he was caught behind off left-arm quick Ben Dwarshuis in the 24th over. A sluggish Bavuma was overtaken by flamboyant Breetzke, playing his third ODI. But South Africa lost three wickets for just seven runs with the fall of Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs (duck) and Dewald Brevis (six), before Bavuma kicked on. After a breakout T20 series, ODI debutant Brevis hit a first-ball six -- but then holed out to Head, who finished with 4-57.
