Despite being in excellent form, Shreyas Iyer was not included in India’s official Asia Cup 2025 squad, surprising fans.
As per Asian Cricket Council rules, teams can add or replace players in case of injury or management decisions - even if the player was not in the standby list.
This rule gives Shreyas Iyer a real chance to join the Asia Cup squad if any player gets injured before or during the tournament.
