Shreyas Iyer's Return for T20 World Cup Not Influenced by BCCI's 'Dubious Asia Cup Signal, Lack of Clarification': He Will Be Back for the Tournament
Shreyas Iyer, the dynamic Indian cricketer, has been excluded from the Indian squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, scheduled to begin on September 9 in the UAE, due to ongoing injury concerns.
This decision comes as a surprise to many, given Iyer's impressive form in recent tournaments. The 26-year-old delivered a 600-plus run IPL season, scored runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, played in the Ranji Trophy, and led his team to the final of the 2025 IPL season for the second consecutive year.
Despite his omission from the Asia Cup squad, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra remains optimistic about Iyer's chances of making it to the T20 World Cup team. Chopra believes that Iyer will use the T20Is against Australia and South Africa at home to strengthen his case for a World Cup berth.
Chopra stated, "The world can change in 15 T20Is, and Shreyas Iyer's performance in these matches could impact his selection for the World Cup." He further added, "I believe he will return to the India squad ahead of the T20 World Cup next year."
Chopra also questioned what more Iyer could have done to push for selection in the Asia Cup squad, given his impressive track record. He pointed out that Iyer had won the Champions Trophy and led his team to the final of the 2025 IPL season.
Looking ahead, the 2026 T20 World Cup will be held in India, providing Iyer with an opportunity to make a strong comeback and secure his place in the Indian squad. With his talent and determination, Iyer is surely one to watch in the upcoming matches.
