India Test captain Shubman Gill last played a T20 international more than a year ago. But his record-breaking run on the recent England tour and blistering IPL form have reignited debate over his recall for the Asia Cup squad.

Gill smashed 754 runs in the five-match Test series against England, including four centuries. 

Former BCCI chief selector Sunil Joshi believes those numbers make Gill impossible to ignore. “Look at Gill’s white-ball numbers. He is a perfect fit to either play the anchor role or to take charge,” Joshi told telecomasia.net.
