Is Jasprit Bumrah In The Indian Squad For Asia Cup: Is Jasprit Bumrah a part of the Indian Cricket Team squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025? And if so, will he be a regular part of the playing XI?
BCCI announced the 15-man Indian squad for the 2025 Asia Cup, to be played in the UAE in September. This being a T20 competition, the squad is quite different from the team that travelled to England for the five-Test Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. However, there are some players common between the two squads.
Is Jasprit Bumrah In The Indian Squad For Asia Cup?
One of these players is Jasprit Bumrah, who was a part of the Asia Cup squad and is among the three frontline pacers. The ace pacer will lead the fast-bowling attack that consists of Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. All-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube will provide pace support.
There were concerns regarding whether Bumrah would be a part of this squad or not. Despite being among the best pacers in the world, the 29-year-old is quite injury-prone. To avoid any injury mishaps, the team generally manages his workload, playing him only when it is considered essential.
Even in the recent Test series against the Three Lions, Jasprit only played three matches, missing two crucial games, including the last one of the trophy, which India had to win to bring the series to a tie.
So, will Jasprit Bumrah, arguably the most dominant cricketer in world cricket, be a regular part of the Indian Cricket Team’s playing XI for the T20 Asia Cup 2025? While there were questions around his inclusion in the squad, his being in the playing XI is a no-brainer. He might have a league match or two against associate nations like the UAE and Oman, but he is all but locked in for the mega-contest against Pakistan.
