After a weather-induced delay, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is finally set to announce India’s 15-member squad for the Asia Cup 2025, with the selection meeting now officially in progress.
The process was delayed earlier in the day due to heavy rains in Mumbai, which disrupted flight operations. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, whose arrival was held up due to these disruptions, has now reached the BCCI headquarters, allowing the selection proceedings to commence.
The squad announcement will be followed by a press conference scheduled for 2:45 PM, which will feature India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav and Chairman of Selectors Ajit Agarkar. According to an earlier email from the BCCI, the PC was initially planned for 1:30 PM but had to be rescheduled due to weather-related delays.
