Team India Test Captain Shubman gill It is not true for the selection of the staff of 15 members for the next Asia Cup 2025, which will begin on September 9. According to a recent report by The Indian Express, the team management and the BCCI selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar, feeling that Gill does not adapt to his T20 plans.
Shubman Gill debuted impressive as Indian Test Captain in England, guiding a young side towards a 2-2 tie. However, success may not affect the selection of Asia T20i. Experts speculated that he could return to T20IS or even direct the shortest format, but selectors chose not to mix formats for the selection.
Shubman Gill is unlikely to be part of the Indian Asia Cup 2025
According to Indian Express, it is unlikely that Shubman Gill will be part of the Asia Cup squad in India, from September 9. There had been a “informal conversation series” about Gill’s inclusion before the August 19 selection meeting in Mumbai.

However, with Abhishek Sharma, Sanja Samson, And Tilak Varma working well in the first order, the direction is reluctant to break the current settings or to choose GILL as a backup. Suryakumar Yadav will continue to lead the team after cleaning his fitness test.
“If Gill is included, he will go down at the top and if he does not have a game, there is no point in it. At the same time, he will be unfair to Sanju, who did well in the past. If Gill enters, Sanju could have to lose you and Jitesh could get a game,” said Indian Express a BCCI source that said.
Shubman Gill takes over as Indian Test Captain
Shubman Gill became the Indian test captain for the England tour after Rohit Sharma’s retirement. The right hand baptism scored 754 runs in five games to an average of 75.40, including four centuries and a better 269 career. He also broke several battle records.
The 25 -year -old, debuted against Sri Lanka in January 2023. He has played 21 games, scoring 578 runs to an average of 30.42 with a strike rate of 139.27. It has destroyed a century and three years, with a higher score of 126* against New Zealand in Ahmedabad.
By the beginning of 2025, Gill accumulated 650 runs on the IPL for the Gujarat Titans (GT) on a strike rate of 155.71. He ended up as the fourth scorer of the season behind Sai Sudharsan, Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli. Ahmedabad’s team lost to the Mumbai Indians (MI) on the eliminator.
India Stick with Tilak Varma for the Asia Cup 2025
The direction and selectors of the Indian team have decided to choose Shubman Gill ahead of Yasasvi Jaiswal, who was part of the T20 World Cup in 2024. With Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson that work well on top, the positions of the openers are secure.
There were discussions about the fall of Tilak Varma to welcome Shubman Gill, but management considered it unfair. Varma is currently the number 2 in the ICC T20i Baths rankings and has taken impressive performances, including consecutive centuries in South -Africa.
The final decision of the squad will be made after a meeting with the Secretary of BCCI Devajit Saikia on August 19. Ajit Agarkar will announce the template of the Asia Cup.
