Team India has been announced for the 2025 Asia Cup. On Tuesday, the Chief Selector of the Indian cricket team Ajit Agarkar and T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav announced Team India through a press conference. Both also answered many important questions in the PC. Here you will tell you 5 big things of Agarkar and Surya’s press conference.

Ajit Agarkar told why Shreyas Iyer did not get a chance

Shreyas Iyer last played a T20 match for India in December 2023, where he scored a brilliant half -century in a win against Australia, but after that he could not find a place in India’s T20 team. The strong performance in IPL 2025 also could not return to Iyer’s T20 team.

When asked about Iyer being dropped from the team, Agarkar said, “You have to tell him about whose place he can take. It is neither his fault nor our. We just have to choose 15 players, he will have to wait for his opportunity.”

Agarkar cleaned everything on Jaspreet Bumrah and workload

Jasprit Bumrah was criticized due to just three Tests in England due to workload. In such a situation, when the question was asked in the PC about Bumrah, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said, “I don’t think there is a written plan at this time. Of course, a good break has been received after the series against England. Team management (management) or physio or related people are always in touch. Not only now, not only before the injury, but even before the injury, we used to take care of it, because we know how important it is.”

Agarkar clearly stated that it is necessary to keep Bumrah available for important matches of the future. He said, “Obviously we want him to be available for all big matches. I know that every match is big in international cricket, but big series like World Cup, Champions Trophy or England-Australia are more important. We want it to be available all the time.”

Agarkar further said, “Most fast bowlers are monitored. He has an additional eye due to injury in the last two-three years. He is an additional eye, because he is unmatched and special and there will be no change. There will be no change, whether it is a next series or six months later.”

Shubman Gill also said on getting vice -captain

Test captain Shubman Gill has been appointed as the vice -captain for the 2025 Asia Cup, while Suryakumar Yadav will take charge of the team. Gill played the last T20 match against Sri Lanka in Pallekal in 2024 and now he replaced Akshar Patel in the vice -captain.

Agarkar said, “Gill’s form in England was the same as we expected, but he performed more than that. Now (for the top order), there are more options and Shubman is in great form anyway. On reaching Dubai, he can choose the playing XI according to the opposing team and the circumstances.”

He said, “As I said, he was the vice -captain when he played T20 cricket last time. This is a matter of this after the last World Cup, so even at that time we were clearly thinking in this direction.

The chief selector said, “Now that he is available, at least he has two options. Choosing the batting order (now) is their responsibility. Our job was to choose 15 players, but as far as T20 cricket is concerned, we have a lot of depth and we are very active about it.”
