The Asia Cup 2025 will be played in the UAE from September 9, and excitement is already high. Team India will begin their campaign on September 10 against UAE, followed by big clashes with Pakistan on September 14 and Oman on September 19. After the group stage, three matches will be played in the Super 4.
The BCCI selection committee will meet on August 19 to announce the Indian squad. A big discussion has been around Jasprit Bumrah’s place in the team, but now there is good news for fans.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Big Message to BCCI: Ready to Play Asia Cup
There were doubts about whether Jasprit Bumrah would play in the Asia Cup. As reports suggested some senior players were not fully supporting his return. However, Bumrah himself has now cleared the air. According to reports in The Indian Express, Bumrah has informed the BCCI that he is fit and available for the tournament.
He has expressed his eagerness to represent India in the Asia Cup, which is seen as an important preparation step for the upcoming international schedule. His availability is a huge boost, as Bumrah is considered one of the best fast bowlers in the world, and his presence can strengthen India’s bowling attack.
Other Key Players: SKY and Gill
Another good update for India is about Suryakumar Yadav, the T20 captain. He had undergone surgery a few months ago but has now passed his fitness test successfully. This means he is also available for selection in the Asia Cup squad. His explosive batting in the middle order could be crucial for India.
Shubman Gill is also likely to find a place in the squad. As he has been in good form and is seen as an important part of India’s batting line-up.
With Bumrah ready, Suryakumar fit, and young players like Gill in contention, Team India looks set to field a balanced side for the Asia Cup. Now, all eyes are on August 19, when the official squad will be announced.
