Indian selector Ajit Agarkar said- It is unfortunate for Jaiswal to not be in the Indian team. Ajit said this on the question of not being selected by Yashasvi Jaiswal. The 23 -year -old Mumbai opener has been placed in the list of reserve players.
Announcing the Indian team for the Asia Cup on Tuesday, the former fast bowler said- ‘It is unfortunate that Jaiswal could not make a place in the team. Abhishek Sharma also bowls a little bit. He said on the selection of Shreyas Iyer- ‘He will have to wait for his opportunity.’
On Bumrah’s workload management Agarkar said- There will be no change in the plan for Bumrah. Because we want Bumrah to be available for all big matches. Due to Bumrah workload management, only 3 out of 5 matches of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy were able to play against England. Agarkar said-
I don’t think there is a written plan at this time. Of course, there is a good break after the series against England. Team management or physio or concerned people are always in touch. We used to take care of it not only now but even before the injury, because we know how important it is.
Agarkar clearly stated that it is necessary to keep Bumrah available for important matches of the future. Agarkar advocated his point and said-
Obviously we want them to be available for all big matches. I know that every match in international cricket is big, but there are big series like World Cup, Champions Trophy or England, Australia. We want him to be available all the time.
Being close to the Home Test series against the West Indies in October, there was doubt over Bumrah playing in the Asia Cup, but the selectors decided to choose him.

We just have to choose 15 players, they have to wait for their opportunity. ‘
- Gill said on the form of Gill- Gill performed better than expected Test captain Shubman Gill has been made the vice -captain for this tournament, while Suryakumar Yadav will take charge of the team. Gill played the previous T20 match against Sri Lanka in Pallekal in 2024 and now he replaced Akshar Patel in the vice -captain.

On reaching Dubai, they can choose the eleventh according to the opposing team and the circumstances.
- Said on playing-11- Surya has 2 options On the question of the opening combination of the Indian team, Agarkar said- ‘Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson are two best opening options with Abhishek Sharma. Who will play in the playing-11 will take the decision in Dubai. It is his responsibility to choose a batting order. Our job was to choose 15 players, but as far as T20 cricket is concerned. We have a lot of depth and we are very active about it.
Talk of Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav

He did not get a chance to play T20 matches, as he was busy with Test Cricket and Champions Trophy.
