For the Asia Cup 2025 to be held in T20 format, a lot of questions are being raised about not giving two star players in the Indian cricket team a chance.

Both these players were likely to be selected in the Asia Cup in view of their current form. However, the selectors ignored him.

What was the injustice done with Shreyas Iyer and Mohammad Siraj,

Talking about IPL along with the Indian cricket team, Shreyas Iyer and Mohammad Siraj have been very amazing for some time. Both these promising players have benefited their team a lot from their contribution. Given his recent performance, it was expected that he will definitely get a chance in a big event like Asia Cup. However, this could not happen. For this big tournament, many veteran players are questioning about not being included in the team. So, can it be seen as injustice in the Asia Cup with Iyer and Siraj? Let’s make a full analysis about this.

Shreyas Iyer has a tremendous form

Team India star batsman Shreyas Iyer has done a tremendous performance for some time. During this, he also rocked domestic cricket after the Asia Cup 2023 to the World Cup 2023 and then he proved to be Team India’s biggest match winner player in the Champions Trophy. He also continued this form in IPL 2025.

Iyer has been continuously setting runs for the last one year

After the BCCI got out of the contract of 2023-24, Iyer got a different form. He scored runs for Mumbai in domestic cricket. The batsman played 5 matches in the 2024-25 season of Ranji Trophy. He scored 480 runs in 7 innings at an average of around 69 during this period. At the same time, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, this Mumbai batsman performed amazing. Where, he scored 325 runs in just 5 matches at an average of 325 from 2 centuries.

Then Iyer also rocked the T20 tournament Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. There he scored 345 runs in 8 innings of 9 matches at an amazing average of 49.68. Iyer also continued his form in the Champions Trophy 2025 and managed to score 243 runs in 5 matches at an average of 48.60. This Mumbai batsman showed a bang in IPL 2025. This time Iyer played for Punjab Kings, with an average of 50.33 in 17 matches and a strike rate of more than 175, erected a mountain of 604 runs. Despite such a tremendous performance, not getting them a chance is really surprised.

Mohammad Siraj also proved himself

Star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj for the Indian team is currently a sensation. He has recently contributed on a tour of England, he cannot be forgotten. The merchant of Hyderabad took the most 23 wickets in the Test series against England. Bowling during his Oval Test brought him to a different level. Even before this, Siraj is continuously bowling well in the Test. He also took 20 wickets in 5 matches during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Australia tour.

Although he could not get a chance in the Champions Trophy, he took 16 wickets in 15 matches for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. By the way, it has been more than 1 year since Siraj’s T20 International match. But, seeing the form in which he is at this time, he must have got a chance in the Asia Cup.
