The legendary Batsman of the South Cricket National Team -Africa, with Villiers, has speculated some huge reasons behind the fashion of the Shreyas Iyer star whites in the Indian 2025 template.
One of the ideas made by AB de Villiers was that the presence of Shreyas Iyer would have meant “too leaders” in the Indian dressing room and a clash between him, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill.
Who knows what happens at the closed doors – with Villiers
The Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI), the main coach Ajit Agarkar, has been at the end of a strong reaction since the India staff announced for the Asia Cup 2025.
Your daily dose of cricket!
He has mainly faced criticism for not selecting Shreyas Iyer in the template despite the consistent and exceptional performances of the mixer in 2025.
Iyer looked at Stellar Touch in the House Odi series against the National Cricket team in England and ended as India’s leader at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
After that, he directed Punjab Kings (PBKs) from the front of the Premier League India (IPL) 2025 playing for explosives and took the team to the final, which they finally lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
The absence of Shreyas Iyer from the squad of Asia 2025 shocked many, and now the legendary batter with Villiers has expressed his surprise about the decision of the selectors. Speaking on his YouTube channel, AB Villiers said:
“Who knows what happens behind closed doors. Maybe not even Shreyas knows it. There could be -some things that have taken place over the years, which is determined why it is not the taste of the month in this tournament. I am not sure what is the reason because it will be on my team more often.”
Has matured a lot and has shown many leadership qualities: AB of Villiers
Proteas praised even more Iyer, saying that he has matured and arose as a brilliant leader. Stated:
“I just read this template and I was thinking about where Shreyas Iyer can fit. I have seen fans annoy with their exclusion and Shreyas will be the most annoying because he has played some really good cricket in recent years. He has matured a lot and has shown many leadership qualities.”
Speculating a reason behind Iyer’s deception from India’s squad for the continental tournament, by Villiers said:
“Thinking about when I was a captain, if there is a 50-50 call between two players, I would always t be tilted to the type that offers the most from the perspective of a team out of the field. When they are 50-50 in the field, you must start looking at other areas such as” brings value to the team room, has a smile on the face, raising some of the other players around him?
Maybe it will be a clash with him, ab of villiers
Another of the reasons that Villiers felt that I could have made Iuster from Iyer was a possible dressing war between him, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill due to the presence of too many leaders.
“Maybe has something to do with this. I am doing a complete riddle because it is strange that a quality player like him does not make the initial squad for Team India, especially with the leadership qualities that he brings,” he said
“Maybe it will be a clash with him and maybe there are too many leaders and too many captains. Maybe the truth will come out one day and we will know why Shreyas struggles to enter Team India.”
