Asia Cup 2025 team news
Titleholders India will be led by Suryakumar Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah's selection was a major takeaway from their squad announcement, following contrasting reports on his fitness due to workload management. Shubman Gill also returns to the T20I setup as Suryakumar's deputy.
Meanwhile, Pakistan entrusted Salman Ali Agha as their captain, continuing to ignore their veteran duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in the leadership setup.
For Sri Lanka, star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has returned to the 16-member squad after suffering a hamstring injury during their series against Bangladesh. He was not part of the Zimbabwe tour. The team will be led by Charith Asalanka.
Rashid Khan will lead Afghanistan, while Litton Das will lead Bangladesh. The other captains in the tournament are Yasim Murtaza (Hong Kong), Jatinder Singh (Oman), and Muhammad Waseem (UAE).
