Asia Cup 2025: From Leadership Changes To Resting Star Players, Here Are All The Squads For The Upcoming Continental Tournament

The biggest cricketing teams of the Asian sub-continent are all set to lock horns with each other in the upcoming 2025 edition of the Asia Cup. The upcoming edition of the Asia Cup will be played in the T20I format and will be a dress rehearsal for all the teams for the upcoming World T20 that is to be played next year. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the host of the Asia Cup, and the tournament will be played in the UAE.

The teams announced for the Asia Cup have raised a lot of questions, and in many ways, it points towards the start of a new era in cricket. Pakistan dropped their star players Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam from their T20I team, whereas India announced Shubman Gill as Suryakumar Yadav's deputy for the tournament. Rashid Khan, on the other hand, has been appointed as Afghanistan's captain.
