Overview

  • Shreyas Iyer’s omission from India’s 15-member Asia Cup 2025 squad has drawn sustained criticism and discussion.
  • Sunil Gavaskar wrote in Sportstar that foreign ex-players have no business commenting on Indian team selection.
  • Brad Haddin responded on the LiSTNR channel that commentators are meant to give views on topical cricket issues and said he stands by his take.
  • Haddin, who coached Iyer at Punjab Kings, praised the batter’s leadership and composure under pressure and said he was shocked by the non-selection.
  • The BCCI-selected squad remains unchanged as the tournament begins on September 9 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar facing scrutiny.
