Asia Cup 2025: The wait for the Indian cricket team is finally going to end. The squad for the Asia Cup 2025 will be announced today. The BCCI selection committee will meet at the Mumbai headquarters on Tuesday afternoon, and after this, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar will announce the team through a press conference. The Indian captain will also be present with him. The press conference will be held from 1.30 pm.
India will host, but the tournament will be held in the UAE.
India has got the hosting rights of Asia Cup 2025, but all the matches of this tournament will start from 9 September in UAE. Teams from eight countries will play with the aim of winning the title. India is currently the current champion of this series. In the final of the last Asia Cup played in 2023, Team India won the title by defeating Sri Lanka by 10 wickets. This is the reason why all eyes will be on the Indian team this time too.
Eyes on captaincy and selection
Indian cricket has been playing with different captains based on the format for some time now. Suryakumar Yadav is currently the captain of the T20 format, while Shubman Gill is leading the Test team. India recently performed brilliantly against England under Gill's captaincy. It is believed that the selection committee can also give him a chance in the Asia Cup T20 team. However, the final seal on this will be put today.
There is another aspect of discussion regarding team selection – balance between fitness of experienced players and giving place to young players. Eyes will also be on the selection committee to see what kind of combination they make this time.
Where to watch Agarkar's press conference?
BCCI has informed that Ajit Agarkar's press conference will be broadcast live on Star Sports Network. Digital viewers can watch it via live streaming on JioHotstar.
Women's team will also be announced
Today, not only the men's team but also the women's cricket team will be announced. The women's team will play the ODI series against Australia. The same squad will also be selected for the upcoming Women's ODI World Cup.
