Asia Cup 2023: With less than one month left for Asia Cup 2023, every eye is on the Indian team and their squad announcement. From the interview with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, Men In Blues will also be experimenting in Asia Cup.
Because of that, there is some uneasiness and worry between the fans and critics regarding the squad announcement. And with various reports coming on for the squad update, an update by Times Of India has shocked fans.
Team India has not yet announced the squad, which is odd considering the tournament will start on September 2. This perfectly indicates the condition of the Indian team, which is filled with injuries and indecisiveness.
Samson Dropped? KL Rahul Return?
It looks like Sanju Samson has not been able to impress Indian selectors with his performances. Rajasthan Royals skipper was given a golden opportunity in this West Indies series, but his sub-par performances have let everyone down.
Apart from one half-century in ODI, he failed to impress in other matches. And it looks like he will pay for these mediocre performances by getting dropped from Asia Cup 2023, and with KL Rahul returning to full fitness, this seems more viable.
India might opt for KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan as their wicketkeeper combo. Ishan has performed well in the ODI series against West Indies. There are more returns that we can expect.
Asia Cup 2023 Squad Announcement
India will probably announce their squad for Asia Cup 2023 on August 20. Jasprit Bumrah is expected to return, with India trying to add another dimension to their pace attack. And it looks Prasidh Krishna might be that option.
Krishna and Bumrah will be part of the Ireland T20 series, and the selectors will keep notes of their fitness in the series. India is the only team that has not announced its squad for the tournament yet.
