Asia Cup 2025: Gill named vice-captain, Bumrah back, Shreyas & Jaiswal out

Shubman Gill has been appointed vice-captain of the Indian T20I team for the Asia Cup 2025, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the squad. Jasprit Bumrah makes his return to the lineup, adding strength to the bowling attack. However, notable omissions include Shreyas Iyer, despite his stellar IPL 2025 season, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who finds himself in the reserves. The 15-member squad also features Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, and Jitesh Sharma, providing a mix of youth and experience. Selectors highlighted Gill’s strong leadership qualities and recent form in England as key reasons for his promotion.
