After announcing the squad for the Asia Cup 2025, one of the prominent names that was missing from the Indian team was that of Shreyas Iyer's.

Following his omission from the national squad, former Team India batsman Robin Uthappa expressed concern and said that it seems strange not to have a player who has helped the side win the Champions Trophy 2025 title.

He took to his official social media handle and shared a post that read, "There are around 18 T20I's to go before India play the next #T20WC; not having #ShreyasIyer who was integral in helping you win the CT seems strange. But one can only hope that he gets into this side soon coz he deserves it! I hope they have communicated to him about his exclusion. #AsiaCup2025 #TeamIndia".
