The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is most likely to announce the India team squad for the Asia Cup 2022,August 8. This year’s Asia Cup is especially important because it will be played from August 27 to September 11 in T20 format.
Major players who have performed well in recent series. Despite their impressive performances, these big Indian players might not be considered for the Asia Cup 2022. Check the list of five players who might not be in the selected Indian squad for Asia Cup 2022.
Shikhar Dhawan Not Selected for T20Is.
Shikhar Dhawan was India’s vice-captain to assist stand-in captain Rohit Sharma in the 2018 Asia Cup. He scored 342 runs at an astonishing average of 68.40 with the help of a couple of hundreds. As a result, he was adjudged the Player of the Series.
However, a lot has changed for the left-handed batter as he has been out of the T20I squad since July 2021. It would not be a stretch to say that the selectors have moved on and he is no longer in the setup for the shortest format of the game.
The likes of KL Rahul, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan are way ahead in the race to fill-up the opening slot alongside Rohit Sharma. With the 2022 Asia Cup happening in a T20 format, the chances of the 36-year-old batter getting selected are very small.
