India Squad Announcement for Asia Cup 2023 Live Update:
On Monday, India announced its 17-member touring team for the 2023 Asia Cup, followed by a press conference in Delhi by Captain Rohit Sharma and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar.
Keeping the One Day World Cup in mind, India’s performance in the continental tournament – which will be played in the 50-over format this year – will be crucial for their prospects in this significant event scheduled to be held on home grounds at the end of the year. The main concern lies around the fitness of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, both of whom are recovering from thigh and back injuries respectively. The impressive fitness of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, evident during the T20 series against Ireland, is a pleasant surprise and he is likely to be part of their Asia Cup squad.
Team India has several matches in the Asia Cup 2023 that you can watch during the tournament.
According to the Asia Cup schedule, on September 2, 2023, India will play its first match against Pakistan at the Candy Stadium in Sri Lanka.
