Asia Cup 2025 is set to take place in September and will feature matches in the T20 format. In the previous edition, which was held in the ODI format, India emerged victorious. However, this time, with key players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja retiring from T20, Team India is expected to showcase a completely revamped squad. The management aims to enter the tournament with a strong and winning combination, providing opportunities for several promising young players.

After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from this format. Since then, Suryakumar Yadav has been leading the T20 team, maintaining an unbeaten record in series under his captaincy. Therefore, he is likely to captain Team India in the Asia Cup 2025, where India will aim to retain its dominance and reclaim the title.

All-rounder Axar Patel is expected to be appointed as the vice-captain for the Asia Cup. With substantial experience from his IPL captaincy, he has led his team to impressive performances, making him a strong candidate for this role.

The squad for Asia Cup 2025 will prominently feature young talents. The opening pair of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal is anticipated to make a significant impact, having provided excellent starts for India in previous matches. Both players are currently in exceptional form in IPL 2025, which will be beneficial for the team in the Asia Cup.

Additionally, players like Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel are expected to join the squad, all of whom are making headlines with their outstanding performances in the IPL. Jasprit Bumrah, who has recovered from his back injury, will also be part of the team, further strengthening India's lineup.

The anticipated squad for Team India includes: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (Wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel (Vice-Captain), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, and Arshdeep Singh.
