India face several selection headaches ahead of Asia Cup 2025. Here are the latest updates on their squad for the tournament.
The upcoming Asia Cup faced uncertainties following the May 2025 India-Pakistan armed conflict, but the tournament has been given the green light and is set to run from September 9 to 28 in the UAE, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi as host cities.
Though India are the official hosts, all matches will be played in the UAE across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This decision aligns with the agreed hybrid model between the BCCI and PCB, where any India-Pakistan encounters will be played at neutral venues.

The pace spearhead missed the final Test of India's England tour due to workload management. There are injury concerns, while some players who haven't been in contention might make a comeback.

Uncertainty looms over Bumrah’s availability
Jasprit Bumrah could miss the Asia Cup 2025 due to workload management.
"If Bumrah plays Asia Cup and suppose India plays the final, no way can he play against West Indies at Ahmedabad. Obviously, the question arises, do you need Bumrah against West Indies or he plays Asia Cup after a month's break and plays the two Tests against South Africa. That call, Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir will have to take," Times Now mentioned a BCCI source quoting to PTI.
