Asia Cup 2025: Harsha Bhogle Picks His Ideal 15-Member Team India Squad; Check Out Details 

With the Asia Cup 2025 just around the corner, cricket expert Harsha Bhogle has shared his own idea of what India’s squad should look like for the tournament in the UAE. The official team will be announced on August 19, but Bhogle’s picks have already sparked interest.

Bhogle picked strong T20I performers Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma to lead the batting lineup. He also included Suryakumar Yadav, who is the current India T20I captain, and Shreyas Iyer, who adds experience to the middle order. Sanju Samson is Bhogle’s first-choice wicketkeeper. As backup, he chose Jitesh Sharma, who had a great IPL season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and has been part of India’s T20 setup recently.

For all-rounders, Bhogle went with three reliable names: Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar. These players can contribute with both bat and ball and bring balance to the team.

In the pace department, Bhogle included Jasprit Bumrah, even though some reports say he might rest for the tournament. He also picked Arshdeep Singh, India’s top T20I wicket-taker, and Prasidh Krishna for his pace. For spin, Bhogle chose Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, and Varun Chakravarthy, all known for their wicket-taking skills and variety.
