Team India is all set for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, set to take place from September 9, but will miss Yashasvi Jaiswal, who should have been in the squad, not only according to cricket fans but also his childhood coach. Ahead of the continental tournament, Jwala Singh, the Indian opening batsman’s coach, opened up about his snub, saying, "Yashasvi should have been in the main squad.”

While Singh’s need to include the star batsman is understandable, he adds, “Now that the squad is already announced, there must have been a lot of thought process behind the selection. But I think Yashasvi should have been in the main squad, because of his overall performances.”

It is not only Jaiswal but also Shreyas Iyer who hasn’t been included in the squad. This was one tournament that many felt he could be included in, but turns out the Asia Cup is yet another tournament he will be missing out on in this calendar year. The decision came earlier when Team India`s chief selector, Ajit Agarkar and skipper Suryakumar Yadav announced the squad for the tournament, leading many to question their choices.
