Whom serious and agar tax does not understand the Asia Cup, the same player is making the board the new captain of ODIs

Bcci: As soon as the Asia Cup 2025 team was announced, the fans were surprised when the name of a talented batsman disappeared from the list. Even the former cricketers said that this player is fully entitled to play at the international level. But head coach Gautam Gambhir and Chairman of the Selection Committee Ajit Agarkar expressed in gestures that this batsman is not currently part of the team’s plans. But now everyone’s eyes were left open after seeing the attitude of BCCI. Because there is talk of making this player the next captain of Team India in ODI cricket.

Out of Asia Cup, but further in captaincy race

Shreyas Iyer’s name was not included in the Asia Cup team. Earlier, questions were being raised about his persistent injuries and form, but despite a strong performance in IPL 2025, the selectors ignored him. But if sources are to be believed, the BCCI is making a separate captaincy roadmap for the ODI team, and Iyer looks at the forefront.

In fact, the board believes that by the 2027 ODI World Cup, the team will need a captain who brought stability in the middle order and move forward with the young players. Iyer’s domestic record has been excellent, as well as shown with Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. Also, in domestic cricket, he has got his leadership iron. It is believed that BCCI has considered Iyer as a long race horse.

Gambhir and different decision from Agarkar’s thinking

While giants like Gambhir and Agarkar were ignoring Iyer’s team, this decision of the board is seen going in a completely different direction. It is certain that BCCI wants to gradually make Iyer the face of the ODI team in the next two years. On the other hand, this may be the biggest turn of career for Shreyas Iyer. The discussion of captaincy after being out of an important series like Asia Cup is a golden opportunity for him.
