BCCI has announced the eagerly awaited Team India squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 which is set to kick off on August 30.
New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has unveiled the eagerly awaited Team India lineup for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, set to kick off on August 30. The announcement made on Monday revealed a few surprises, with KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer securing spots in the squad. However, the absence of Yuzvendra Chahal from the lineup has raised eyebrows among cricket enthusiasts.
