Former Indian National Cricket team Aakash Chopra has opened to the non-selection of the Batsman Shashank Singh explosive on the Asian Cup squad 2025.
Aakash Chopra said that Shashank Singh is good enough to reach the T20i India staff, but there is currently no vacancy for a team finisher.
Your number will come but can’t get so soon: Aakash Chopra
The Chhattisgarh Batting All-Rounder Shashank Singh has been lit in the last two seasons of IPL while playing the Punjab Kings (PBKs).
Your daily dose of cricket!
From an accidental purchase to the main interpreter of Punjab Kings (PBKs), his journey has been quite unique. At IPL 2024, he scored 354 rolls at an average of 44.25 and a strike rate of 164.65, forcing the franchise to retain it.
At that time, at IPL 2025, he exploded 350 runs at an average of 50.00 and a strike rate of 153.50. In the shock of the summit against RCB, he gave everything and remained unbeaten at 61*, but his team lost the game.
In the meantime, speaking on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra talked that Shashank Singh was not chosen for the Asia Cup and said:
“It’s a good question. His number will come, but it can’t get so soon because there is no place. Rinku Singh, as a finisher, will be sitting today, and Shivam Dube will probably play at number 7 if he has the opportunity to play. Hardik Pandya and Jitesh Sharma are there. Where is the place?”
As much as I love Shashank Singh, how can it come? – Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra also said that the Punjab Kings batter has a chance to debut 50-50 until the next ICC Men T20 World Cup 2026.
“No matter how much I love Shashank Singh, how can it come? Can’t come. So this is the story. Shashank will have to wait. I like that he has the skills, and he is not like a young man of 22 or 25 years, but he will still have to wait. Until the T20 World Cup is 50 to 50 years old. I do not think that his name can come easily,” he said.
Asia Cup 2025 will be played in the T20 format from 9 to 28 September in the United Arab Emirates, and a total of eight teams will participate in the competition.
Aakash Chopra rules out the test of the Ajinkya Rahane test, the return of KL Rahul’s T20I
Aakash Chopra talked more about the possibilities that Ajinkya Rahane would do his test again, and KL Rahul would return his T20I again. Said:
“He (Ajinkya Rahane) will not be able to come, it seems that for the moment. It seems difficult. I will be very honest. The Indian team has gone in a very different direction. So it does not seem to have a chance. U
“He (Kl Rahul) will not be able to come to the World Cup. Nor will he be able to come. Once again, the Indian team has begun to go in a very different direction.”
