Asia cup 2025: The Asia Cup 2025 is going to start in UAE from 9 September. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Oman, Hong Kong and host UAE teams are ready to clash for the title. This tournament will be played in T20 format this time. Although only 11 players are seen playing on the field, but many players sitting in the dugout do not get a single match in the entire tournament. This time there are 5 players with whom the same can happen.
Nurul Hasan – Bangladesh
Bangladesh has included veteran wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan in the team, but captain Litton Das already takes over the task of wicketkeeping. In such a situation, it seems difficult to include Nurul in the playing XI. He has played only one T20 for Bangladesh since 2022. His last match was against the Netherlands.
Hasan Ali – Pakistan
Pakistan’s fast bowler Hasan Ali’s return to the team surprised everyone. His T20 record is also not special, especially his economy of more than 9 runs per over. He is very less likely to play in the presence of bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Nasim Shah and Haris Rauf.
Harshit Rana – India
The Indian team is full of fast bowlers. Jaspreet Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are already the main options. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey also bowl extra. In such a situation, it is almost impossible to get a chance to young Harshit Rana. He has played only one T20 International so far, that too as a substitute.
Darvesh Rasuli – Afghanistan
Afghanistan batsman Darvesh Rasuli has so far failed to leave his mark in the International T20. He has scored only 149 runs in 12 matches. Both their average (15) and strike rate (112) are disappointing. This is the reason why team management can avoid betting on them.
Chamika Karunaratne – Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan all -rounder Chamika Karunaratne’s recent performance has not met expectations. He played only two T20s in the last two years and did not take any wickets. The team has better bowler options, so their playing seems almost impossible.
