More Suspense Around India's Asia Cup Squad As Suryakumar Yadav Travels To Japan

With the Asia Cup 2025 event starting on September 9 in the United Arab Emirates, the countdown has officially begun. The selection committee, directed by Ajit Agarkar, is now the centre of attention and is anticipated to reveal India's team during the third week of August. The selection meeting is expected to be full of surprises because several positions are still up in the air, and several well-known personalities are dealing with injuries.

The health of skipper Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the main worries for Indian supporters. The India squad for the 2025 Asia Cup may be subject to a last-minute adjustment. The Indian National Cricket Team's top concern is still Suryakumar Yadav's availability for the eagerly anticipated competition. It is expected that Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the 2025 Asia Cup.

In June 2025, Suryakumar Yadav underwent sports hernia surgery in Munich, Germany. At that time, he was recuperating at Bengaluru's National Cricket Academy (NCA) and was almost fully recovered. Under the supervision of the medical staff, Surya has been working out at the NCA, concentrating on improving his strength, mobility, and batting abilities.

According to a journalist for Revsportz, the players were all set, but there may be a last-minute change to the final Asia Cup 2025 lineup. He added that the final decision is anticipated when Suryakumar Yadav returns from his brief stay in Japan.

In the Mumbai T20 League in June, Suryakumar played his final competitive game for Triumph Knights Mumbai North East. He finished as the second-highest run scorer with 717 runs, five fifties, and an average of 65.18 before that. He had a fantastic IPL 2025 season.

On September 10, India will play the United Arab Emirates to begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign. On September 14, they will play Pakistan.
