India will also play three ODIs against Australia beginning September 14 before kicking off its World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on September 30.
'We want to break that barrier which all Indians are waiting for. World Cups are always special, always want to do special for my country. Whenever I see Yuvi bhaiya (Yuvraj Singh) it gives me a lot of motivation,' captain Harmanpreet Kaur had said earlier this week at the trophy unveiling ceremony for the ODI World Cup.

Surya Or Gill? BCCI Source Gives Big Update About India Captain For Asia Cup 2025
Last Updated: Surya led Team India when they last played a T20I match against England in Mumbai on February 2, 2025, whereas Gill is the current captain of India's Test team. Suryakumar Yadav is the current captain of India's T20I team, but Test captain Shubman Gill's super show with the bat in the recently concluded five-match Test series against England has raised calls for his promotion as India's captain in all three formats of the game. Many fans and experts of the game feel that the 25-year-old right-handed batter from Punjab should be given the leadership role, keeping the future in mind. It was reported earlier this week that Gill could be asked to lead the Indian team in the Asia Cup 2025, but a fresh report in the Times of India on Thursday (August 14) has indicated that Surya will continue to lead the Indian team in the eight-team tournament, which is set to be played from September 9 to 28 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. As per TOI, the 34-year-old right-handed batter from Mumbai, who is currently undergoing rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, will fly to Mumbai from Bengaluru to attend the selection committee's meeting for Asia Cup 2025 on August 19. 'The selection meeting will be attended by India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, who will fly to Mumbai from Bengaluru, where he is currently stationed at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) while recuperating after a sports hernia surgery. This development confirms that SKY will continue as India's T20 captain, thus quashing all rumours around India's new Test captain, Shubman Gill, also being given the T20 captaincy now," the TOI report read. It has also been reported that India's Test opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer won't be picked for the Asia Cup. As per TOI, Jaiswal has been told by the selectors to focus on red-ball cricket. 'With India looking to persist with the opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, Gill is currently struggling to even make it to the side. Even Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had a great series in England, and middle-order bat Shreys Iyer are likely not to be picked for the T20 side. Jaiswal has been told by the selectors to focus on red-ball cricket," a BCCI source was quoted as saying by TOI. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Should Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Retire From ODIs Now? Suresh Raina Answers
Last Updated: Suresh Raina urges Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to continue playing ODIs for India to guide younger players. He also calls for Mohammed Siraj's selection across formats. Suresh Raina has urged Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to continue playing ODIs for India to help out the younger generation. He believes the two senior pros need to be part of the Indian dressing room because of their experience of winning the biggest titles in the sport and 'astute leadership'. Raina's comments come in light of reports claiming uncertainty over Rohit and Kohli's future. While both have publicly hinted at their desire to play the 2027 World Cup in Africa, the BCCI's stand is unclear. Some reports claim that the BCCI would want them to feature in the domestic 50-over tournament, the Vijay Hazare Trophy in their time away from the national team, and a failure to do so might get them dropped. 'Rohit and Virat's experience is very important It's crucial for the seniors to stay involved with the juniors. Shubman (Gill) has done really well, but he needs players like Virat and Rohit," Raina told Telecom Asia Sport. 'They have won the Champions Trophy, they have won the World Cups. Virat won the last IPL also. For the astute leadership they have shown during their respective careers, they need to be part of the dressing room," he added. Rohit and Kohli would be 40 and 38, respectively, by the time of the 2027 World Cup. The BCCI will have to judge whether they still provide enough value to the team to keep out promising youngsters. Impressed with his performances in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Raina also called for pacer Mohammed Siraj to be picked for India across formats. 'Siraj should be part of the Indian set-up in all three formats, given how he has performed for the country with both the white ball and red ball. He bowled 187 overs in the series and came through without any niggle," Raina said. Siraj is a regular in ODIs and Tests but hasn't played much T20I cricket. It needs to be seen if he's picked for the 2025 Asia Cup, which will be in the T20 format. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
