Asia Cup 2023 India Squad on 17th August- No Iyer and Rahul?

Both players will undergo fitness tests this week, and a final decision will be made based on their fitness status. Once there is clarity on the two batters’ availability, the Ajit Agarkar-led committee will announce the Asia Cup 2023 Squad by 17th August.

With the World Cup 2023 on the horizon, India is gearing up for the major tournament, treating the Asia Cup 2023 as a crucial dress rehearsal. However, the team is anxiously waiting for important injury updates on KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. Both players will undergo fitness tests this week, and a final decision will be made based on their fitness status. Once there is clarity on the two batters’ availability, the Ajit Agarkar-led committee will announce the Asia Cup 2023 Squad by 17th August.

Despite positive progress in the fitness updates of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, Ajit Agarkar has advised Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma to prepare for Asia Cup 2023 without counting on the star duo. During their time in Barbados with the squad, Ajit Agarkar and Salil Ankola held a discussion with Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid regarding the Asia Cup combinations and the squad selection.

The primary concern lies in whether both KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will be fit for Asia Cup 2023. As of now, it appears that they will be available for the tournament. Both players are expected to be part of the Asia Cup camp scheduled between August 24-29 at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, where they will join the entire squad.

Although the Asia Cup squad submission deadline is August 15, there is a possibility of late changes with approval from the technical committee. Considering India’s match against Pakistan is scheduled for September 2, a late change is still feasible within the 7-day period before the game. This falls well within the camp, providing some flexibility for any required adjustments.
