Shreyas Iyer to direct, Digvesh Rathi also finds a place

Insideport takes a look at Alternate India XI for the next Asia Cup 2025.
The Indian team for the Asian 2025 Cup was appointed on Tuesday, and there are a few notable failures in the 15 members’ team. And without fault with selectors or management – some deserving players were supposed to miss anyway. Now it is time to look at the XI of the real play that India could align, as well as the XI alternative which would be formed by players who were not selected.
India predicted playing XI for the Asian Cup 2025
Abhishek Sharma, Shuman Gill (VC), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Jiteh Sharma (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Pate, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarty.
Yashasvi Jaiswal & Sai Sudharsan to open
Without a doubt, Jaiswal is the first choice of this other XI India. He has a stellar record in the T20is and on average 36, while in IPL 2025, he scored 559 points in 15 games. The other must be Sai Su, who was the holder of the orange cap. He scored 759 points at an average of 54.
Shreyas Ier the Skipper
Not only did he marked strongly, but he took PBKs to the playoffs after a decade. The previous year, he took KKR to the trophy. He should have been in the main team, and is also the captain of this XI XI in Asia.
Easy versatile choice
Krunal and Riyan seem to make the team quite easily. In 15 games, the SouthPaw scored a round of 73 from RCB, then chose 17 counters. On the other hand, Riyan scored 393 points and also obtained three counters.
Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj Main Pacers
Prasidh was the holder of the purple cap, so he did the team without thinking. Siraj has chosen 16 counters in 15 games and becomes the leader of the peloton; He would have Harshal Patel as a death bowling player.
India was missing XI
Prasidh Krishna, Digvesh Rathi, Krunal Pandya, Sai Sudharsan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Mohammed Siraj, Kl Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Sai Kishore, Harshal Patel, Riyan Pareag.
