The exclusion of Shreyas Iyer from India’s Asia Cup 2025 squad has ignited a heated debate. Abhishek Nayar, a former assistant coach for India, has publicly criticized the decision, specifically targeting chief selector Ajit Agarkar. Agarkar explained that the squad was selected to create the best combination for the tournament. Nayar, reacting to the exclusion, highlighted that if Iyer was highly regarded, he should have been included in the reserve players. He added that he couldn’t understand why Iyer wasn’t part of the 20-member squad, implying that it signals Iyer is not in the team’s future considerations.
