Shreyas Iyer named on standby list for 2022 Asia Cup
Iyer has been named on the standby list of players alongside Deepak Chahar and Axar Patel for the 2022 Asia Cup. The right-handed batter had a tremendous outing in the recently concluded series against West Indies. He amassed 161 runs in the three-match series at an average of 53.6
However, he failed to live up to the expectations of team management in the T20Is. His scores read 0, 10 and 24 before finally scoring 40-ball 64 in the fifth and final T20I against WI.
India’s squad for Asia Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan.
Standby Players: Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel and Deepak Chahar.
India will begin their Asia Cup campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan in a high-octane clash on August 28 in Dubai.
Six teams are divided into two groups, with India, Pakistan and a qualifier in Group A. Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are part of Group B. Every team will play against other teams once from each group, with the top two teams advancing to the Super 4. The top two teams from Super 4 will meet each other in the summit clash on September 11 (Sunday).
While the last edition of the 2018 Asia Cup was held in ODI format, this time it will be played in a T20I affair.
