The Asia Cup 2025, starting on September 9th, poses a considerable challenge for Arshdeep Singh. The left-arm pacer, a crucial player in India’s T20I squad, has not had ample match time, a concern voiced by former India bowling coach Bharat Arun. Arshdeep has been a consistent wicket-taker in T20Is, securing 99 wickets with an impressive strike rate of 13.23. Despite being part of the Champions Trophy 2025, he didn’t play any games, and he was also sidelined during the Test series against England. Bharat Arun believes that playing matches is essential for developing rhythm, regardless of the amount of practice in the nets. He sees the upcoming Asia Cup as a major test for Arshdeep and stresses the importance of him quickly regaining his match fitness. India will begin its Asia Cup 2025 journey on September 10th, with their first match against the UAE. The tournament will be held in the UAE due to political issues, even though India was originally supposed to host it. The India squad for the Asia Cup 2025 features: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Jitesh Sharma, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh.
