BCCI Stops Agarkar From Answering India-Pakistan Question
During the Asia Cup 2025 squad announcement press conference, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar was stopped from answering a question about the highly anticipated India-Pakistan match. As Agarkar addressed the media alongside captain Suryakumar Yadav, a journalist raised the topic of the September 12 India-Pakistan game. Before Agarkar could respond, a BCCI representative quickly intervened and indicated that the question would not be answered. This unexpected moment sparked reactions from fans on social media, adding to the excitement surrounding the tournament.
India will face Pakistan in their second match of the tournament, set to take place in Dubai on September 12. Both teams are in Group A, alongside Oman and the UAE, making the upcoming clash a crucial part of the group stages.
Key Updates on India’s Asia Cup Squad
In addition to the India-Pakistan drama, the Asia Cup squad announcement also revealed some key updates. Shubman Gill was named as vice-captain, replacing Axar Patel in the role. Agarkar praised Gill’s outstanding form in England, noting that he had exceeded expectations.
Despite fitness concerns ahead of the Test series against the West Indies, Jasprit Bumrah was included in the 15-member squad. This marks Bumrah’s return to T20 cricket since last year’s World Cup. Kuldeep Yadav was also added to the squad as a left-arm wrist spinner, while Jitesh Sharma will serve as the backup wicketkeeper batter.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, despite impressive performances, was named one of the five standby players. Agarkar explained that it was unfortunate for Yashasvi Jaiswal but emphasized the importance of waiting for future opportunities.
India’s first match of the Asia Cup will be on September 9 against the UAE, with fans eager to see how the team performs in the competition.
