Is Jasprit Bumrah playing in Asia Cup 2025? Know who are 17 contenders for Team India Team including Shubman Gill

Asia Cup 2025 is set to start from September 9, which all cricket fans are eagerly awaiting. Meanwhile, everyone is also waiting for the announcement of the Indian team. A major update has emerged regarding Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah was unable to play the last Test against England due to workload management, but reports suggest he might be available for the Asia Cup. Additionally, Shubman Gill could return to the T20 team and may be seen as vice-captain during the tournament.

Media reports indicate that Jasprit Bumrah is expected to participate in Asia Cup 2025. However, he will take a break after the tournament, starting with the opening Test against West Indies in October. If Bumrah plays in the Asia Cup, it will strengthen the Indian team and make them strong contenders for the tournament.

Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill is in excellent form. His rhythm has remained consistent since IPL 2025, making his place in India's T20 team almost certain. If reports are to be believed, the team management is also considering making him vice-captain.

The selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar may pick Team India for the Asia Cup 2025 during the third week of this month, on August 19th or 20th. It is said that the selectors will finalize the team after receiving the players’ medical reports from the Center of Excellence. The team captain, Suryakumar Yadav, is currently at the COE in Bengaluru, practicing batting in the nets.

Probable Indian Team for Asia Cup 2025: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma / Dhruv Jurel, Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Jaspreet Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, Harshit Rana / Prasidh Krishna.
