India Squad for Asia Cup 2022 has been announced. The tournament will begin on August 27 and conclude September 11th, so there is plenty of time to get acquainted with this team before then. With India thrashing the West Indies in their white-ball leg of this recently completed Caribbean tour, all roads now lead to UAE as Rohit Sharma & Co. are gearing up for the next edition of the Asia Cup.
The busy months of August to November will be filled with international cricket. Not only do we have two major T20 tournaments happening in those periods, but there are also numerous bilateral series for various teams worldwide playing each other! The first one is Asia cup 2022, which takes place from Aug 27-September 11th; the next is T20 World Cup 2022, which takes place from Oct to Nov 2022.
India has been placed into Group A with archrival Pakistan and another qualified team, which we’ll learn about on August 26 when the qualification ends for this year’s event! The match between these two nations always brings something special so make sure not to miss your chance at seeing history.
India has been defending champions of the Asia Cup for a few years now, and they’re looking forward to retaining their title this time. The last was played in 2018 during an ODI format tournament where India beat Bangladesh by one run in the last ball thriller.

The Indian team is turning out as expected, with KL Rahul handing the vice-captaincy reins again. It means that Virat Kohli has returned to lead his side from attack while Jasprit Bumrah will be missing due to injury – which gives way for Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s leadership on pace bowling duty in Asia Cup 2022. However, there are still stand-by players such as Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer, and Shreyas Iyer, and no place for Ishan Kishan this time.
India has four spinners in their squad, with Deepak Hooda set to play a part-time role. But there are only three specialist bowlers while Hardik Pandya provides an additional seam bowling option for the coach enduring the Indian team.
