No Jaiswal, Gill returns: India’s predicted squad for the Asia Cup 2025!

It may be difficult for Ajit Agarkar’s selection panel to choose from the Indian squad for the Asia Cup T20, which is set to be revealed on Tuesday. Rinku Singh’s spot in the 15-man squad is also being questioned, even though Indian Test captain Shubman Gill’s designation and position in the squad are still heated topics. A few years ago, Rinku won an IPL match for the Kolkata Knight Riders by hitting five consecutive sixes off an over by Yash Dayal. Since then, he has been considered a designated finisher for the Indian club.
