Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that the Indian selectors and management didn't do justice to in-form Shreyas Iyer by axing him from the 15-player squad for next month's Asia Cup.

Former selector Salil Ankola expressed disappointment over Shreyas Iyer's exclusion from the Asia Cup squad. The current chief selector Ajit Agarkar said it wasn't Iyer's fault but explained there was no place for him.

BCCI announced the 15-member Team India squad for the Asia Cup 2025, sparking outrage over Shreyas Iyer's exclusion. Fans criticised the decision, attributing it to internal politics and questioning the selectors' judgment regarding Iyer's capabilities.
