Asia cup 2025: Big news has come out about Team India’s star batsman and Test team captain Shubman Gill. Shubman Gill is ill at this time and is resting at home and that is why he will not be able to play on the field. Due to which Gill will not be able to participate in the Dalip Trophy starting in Bangalore this week.

Gill is the captain of North Zone

The BCCI announced Shubman Gill as the captain of the team while announcing the North Zone team of the Dalip Trophy, but due to his lack of health, the management had to change. After Gill is out, now Ankit Kumar will lead the team in his place. At the same time, the selectors had already included Shubham Rohilla in the squad as Gill’s backup.

Duleep Trophy and Asia Cup conflict

The Dalip Trophy is to be held in Bengaluru from 28 August to 15 September. The first match of the North Zone will be played from the East Zone at the BCCI Center of Excellence Ground in Bengaluru. Even if Gill was fit, it was difficult to play his entire tournament as he has to represent India in the Asia Cup starting in UAE on 9 September.

He had shown power on England tour

Shubman Gill has recently returned from England tour, where he scored a total of 754 runs in 5 Tests of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy while batting brilliantly. Thanks to his best form, he has been made the vice -captain in India’s T20 team for the Asia Cup.

Forward position

The North Zone has suffered a major setback due to being out of Gill. The team will now be confident of vice -captain Ankit Kumar, while Shubman Gill’s eyes will fit to return firmly for Team India in the Asia Cup.

Asia cup 2025: The announcement of the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025 is going to be held today i.e. on Tuesday at 1:30 pm, but just before that Team India’s young wicketkeeper-batsman Ishaan Kishan has been injured. 23 -year -old Ishaan Kishan has already been running out of the national team for a long time and there was no special possibility for him in the Asia Cup team. But Ishaan Kishan’s injury has given a big blow to his home team, because he had to captain the team in the Dalip Trophy.

Accident with e-bike, stitches in hand

According to sources, 23-year-old Ishaan Kishan recently fell from the e-bike, after which he suffered injuries and stitches. This injury is not serious, but the BCCI medical team has advised him to comfort. At present, they are going through a rehabilitation process at the Center of Excellence in Bangalore. It is expected that they may fit by next month, as they have to participate in the selection process of India ‘A’ against Australia.

Even out of Dalip Trophy, captained by hand

The Indian domestic cricket season begins with the Dalip Trophy, which will be played in Bengaluru from August 28. Ishaan Kishan was entrusted with the responsibility of captaincy by the East Zone, but due to injury he will not be able to participate in the quarter -final match. In his place, the trusted batsman Abhimanyu Ishwaran, the trusted batsman of Bengal, has been elected captain. Ishwaran was recently part of the Indian team in the Test series against England, but he did not get a chance to play a single match.

For the East Zone team, Assam’s young all -rounder Ryan Parag has been made vice -captain. At the same time, Odisha’s wicketkeeper-batsman Ashirwad Swine has been included in the squad instead of Ishaan.

Akashdeep also out of the team

Another big shock to the East Zone is caused by the injury of fast bowler Akashdeep. Akashdeep, who performed brilliantly on the England tour, is still not completely recovered from a back injury. The selection committee has given Bihar fast bowler Mukhtar Hussain a chance to play in the team. Akashdeep performed brilliantly in the Test match played against England in Birmingham and took 10 wickets. However, Akashdeep hopes that he will fit till the Test series against the West Indies in October.

East Zone team

Abhimanyu Ishwaran (captain), Ryan Parag (Vice -captain), Sandeep Patnaik, Virat Singh, Danish Das, Shrimat, Sharandeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wicketkeeper), Ashirwad Swine (wicketkeeper), Utkarsh Singh, Manishi, Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Mukesh Kumar, Mukhtar Hussain and Mohammed Shami.

The Dilip Trophy 2025-26 tournament is coming near one day. The tournament will start from August 28 and will be played till 15 September. After the announcement of the North Zone squad, the Central Zone squad has also been declared, the captaincy of which has been handed over to Dhruv Jurlel, who was seen wicketkeeping in Manchester and Oval Test on England tour in the absence of Rishabh Pant. Rajat Patidar and Kuldeep Yadav have also got a place in the team, but Karun Nair has not got a place.

There is still a situation of doubt on the playing of Rajat Patidar, as they will need clearance on fitness from the Center of Excellence before playing in the tournament. Dhruv Jurlel has received the captaincy gift to perform well for India A team on England Tour. In two unofficial Tests, Jurael scored 227 runs at an average of more than 75.

Karun Nair’s exit from the team is a shocking decision, as he scored 863 runs in the last Ranji Trophy season. However, his performance on the England tour was disappointing, where he was able to score 205 runs in 8 innings at an average of just 25.

The Central Zone team has been prepared by mixing a good mix of batting and bowling. Apart from Dhruv Jurael, Rajat Patidar and Aryan Juyal, Sanchit Desai is also present in the batting. In the bowling, the team will have experience of Deepak Chahar, Kuldeep Yadav and Khalil Ahmed.

Central Zone Squad: Dhruv Jurael (captain and wicketkeeper), Rajat Patidar, Aryan Juyal, Danish Malewar, Sanchit Desai, Kuldeep Yadav, Aditya Thackeray, Deepak Chahar, Summary Jain, Ayush Pandey, Shubham Sharma, Yash Rathore, Harsh Dubey, Manav Suthar, Khalil Ahmed
