Shreyas Iyer, who has recently been given the captaincy of India A team for Australia Tour. He was a top scorer of the Indian team in the Champions Trophy 2025 a few months ago, under his captaincy he took Punjab Kings to the final of IPL 2025. Due to such tremendous figures and current form, it seemed impossible to drop him, but the selectors did not choose him in the Asia Cup squad. Now he has described a very painful experience, which shook Iyer inside.

This was the case after the 2023 World Cup, when Shreyas Iyer’s injury was not very serious in appearance, but it proved to be a terrible pain. Iyer could not play much matches in the year 2024 due to a waist injury. The situation had become as if his leg was paralyzed.

Palling the leg …

In a conversation with GQ India, Shreyas Iyer revealed, “I could not understand so much pain at that time. I could not understand one leg. When there is a reed bone surgery, you can also work by putting a rod. But when there is a problem of the vein, it could be very dangerous, the same problem was very dangerous. Was a terrible experience. “

Why out of Asia Cup squad, Ajit Agarkar told

Shreyas Iyer did not find a place in the Asia Cup squad even after the Champions Trophy 2025 and the amazing performance in the IPL season. Explaining the reason for this, Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said, “It is unfortunate to be out. Iyer will have to wait for his chance.” The statement of Agarkar became disputed, in which he said, who would replace Iyer to the squad.

The Asia Cup 2025 starts less than two weeks left. The tournament will begin with India vs Sri Lanka match on 9 September. A total of 5 countries have announced their respective squads so far, but especially questions have been raised on India and Pakistan Squad. On the one hand, the cricket fans of both countries are expressing displeasure with Shreyas Iyer being out of Team India and keeping Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan out of the Pak team.

Babar Azam can play Asia Cup?

First of all talk about whether Babar Azam can come to the Asia Cup squad? This can happen, but it is very less expected. Actually, star opener Fakhar Zaman has been struggling with the problem of hamstring for several weeks. He suffered this injury during the series against the West Indies.

Zaman is currently in Dubai, has also been seen practicing with the Pak team, but the biggest concern is whether Fakhar Zaman will be able to recover completely in time. In such a situation, there is a cloud of crisis on his playing in the Asia Cup. If Zaman is not able to fit, then Pakistan Cricket Board can give Babar Azam a chance to the T20 tournament Asia Cup as an alternative to batting. Let us tell you that Babur has not played any T20 matches after December 2024.

Will Shreyas Iyer play or not?

As soon as the Indian squad was announced for the Asia Cup, many well -known cricket experts including fans also erupted as to why Iyer was not taken in the team despite being in tremendous form. Fans have waged a campaign on social media when Iyer did not get a place. In fact, the team participating in the Asia Cup 2025 can make changes in their respective squads by August 30. If the selection committee wants, Iyer can still be given a place in the team.
