Following the conclusion of the exciting 5-match Test series between England and India on Monday, August 4, focus has shifted to the game's shortest format. India will play their first Twenty20 International (T20I) match since February 2025 at the Asia Cup 2025, which begins in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on September 9.
The Asia Cup will serve as the start of India's journey to the 2026 T20 World Cup, which is set to take place in February in India and Sri Lanka. The Indian team management has a great chance to begin assembling a core group. India, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman are all in Group A. On September 10, they will play their first match against the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

It is anticipated that Suryakumar Yadav captain the side. Players like Shreyas Iyer, Sai Sudharsan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill are reportedly being considered for selection. However, in order to manage his workload, Jasprit Bumrah might be rested during the competition.
India, the current 2024 T20 World Cup champions, have won 17 of their 20 Twenty20 Internationals since taking winning the title in the USA and the West Indies, continuing their impressive form. Despite defeating England 4-1 in their most recent T20I series, the Asia Cup squad is probably going to include some new players and different lineups.
