Asia Cup 2025 India Squad: Defending champions India last month unveiled their 15-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup in the UAE, starting from September 9th in the UAE.
Suryakumar Yadav will lead India in this month’s Asia Cup as the team looks to clinch a record-extending ninth crown.
India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is set for a highly anticipated return to the white-ball format, finishing an 11-month break due to injury. Bumrah last featured for India in the T20I format in India's title win in the 2024 T20 World Cup final, where the star claimed 15 wickets.
In the T20I set-up, Indian selectors showed faith in the young trio - Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Rinku Singh.
