For the Asia Cup 2025, who will get a place in the Indian squad and who does not, it remains a big question. Even Test captain Shubman Gill remains doubtful when it is given a place in the T20 team. The Indian squad will be announced on August 19 and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar himself will tell the names of the players by holding a press conference. Well earlier also Ajit Agarkar has been announcing the team, but who prepares the list of playing XI and Squad? Know here who will select the playing XI and Asia Cup squad?
Who chooses squad?
Be it Asia Cup or any other series, it is the responsibility of the selection committee to prepare the Indian squad, which is currently being led by Ajit Agarkar. That is, for the Asia Cup 2025, who will get a place in the Indian squad and who does not, all the selectors including Ajit Agarkar will take a decision together.
The player’s form, fitness and recent figures are also seen for selection in the squad. Although the final decision on the squad is to be taken by the selection committee, but often the coach and captain are also consulted for team combinations.
Who decides the playing XI?
India’s playing XI topic is also in discussion in the Asia Cup. On one hand, the squad is selected in the hands of the selection committee, but when it comes to choosing the playing XI in a match, this decision is in the hands of the coach and the captain. Since the captain has to use his player in a good way by going to the field, the captain’s attitude is very important in choosing the playing XI. Before the selection of playing XI, the mood of the pitch is also taken into consideration in the field besides the player’s form and fitness.
