Shubman Gill Asia Cup 2025 News

It’s noteworthy that Gill had already been marked as a leadership prospect early in his career: when he was appointed captain of India C in the 2019-20 Deodhar Trophy. There is increasing consensus that Gill, currently also serving as India’s ODI vice-captain, is being primed to take over full-time ODI captaincy possibly even leading the squad at the 2027 World Cup in South Africa. Suryakumar Yadav has resumed batting sessions at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru and is on track to regain full fitness prior to the Asia Cup.

Team India’s Asia Cup 2025 squad is expected to be announced in the third week of August, ahead of the tournament starting September 9. Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sai Sudharsan are strong contenders for top-order slots based on recent IPL performances. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will undergo fitness assessments before being considered for selection.

Shubman Gill's availability for Asia Cup 2025 remains uncertain due to his upcoming Test captaincy duties against West Indies.
