All 8 countries have announced their respective squads for the Asia Cup 2025. The tournament will be played till 9 September-28 September. Babar Azam, Shreyas Iyer and Mohammad Rizwan will not play in this tournament. All countries have tried to prepare their strongest squad, but there are some names that may not get a chance to play a single match in the Asia Cup 2025. 2 players are also from India in this list.

It is difficult for these 7 players to play

In the Indian Squad of the Asia Cup, Rinku Singh and Harshit Rana are 2 players who may not get a chance to play a single match. Team India is full of all -rounders who bat in middle order. Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel and Shivam Dubey could hardly get Rinku Singh in the playing XI. On the other hand, India’s pace attack will be led by Jaspreet Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. At the same time, Team India will have 2 fast bowling options as Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey. 5 fast bowling options on UAE pitches do not make any meaning, in such a situation, Harshit Rana may have to sit out of all matches.

Mohammad Saifuddin of Bangladesh can also sit out, because there are already many fast bowling options in the Bangladeshi team. At the same time, Pakistan has 3 main fast bowlers as Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Junior. Hardly Salman will be able to make a place in Mirza’s playing XI during him. However, if someone is out due to injury or fitness, Mirza can get a chance.

Khushdil Shah’s T20 figures have not been very good for Pakistan. This year, he scored only 86 runs in 10 T20 matches and has taken only 3 wickets. The deadly spin bowling of Mujib ur Rehman of Afghanistan is no longer visible. Since 2024, he has taken just 9 wickets for Afghanistan by playing 9 T20 matches.

Sri Lanka’s Kamil Mishara made his T20 debut this month, who open. As an opener, Sri Lanka already has a dangerous pair of Pathum Nisanka and Kusal Mendis. In such a situation, hardly Mishara could get a chance in the playing XI.

These are 7 players: Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Mohammad Saifuddin, Salman Mirza, Khushdil Shah, Mujib ur Rehman, Kamil Mishra
