With the meeting just less than 24 hours away, there are several permutaions and combinations being discussed by the fans and pundits alike.

One such rumour was that Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer might be back in the squad. But according to reports from Times of India, both Gill and Iyer will not make it to the Asia Cup 2025 squad. The report also confirmed that Suryakumar Yadav will continue as the captain of the side, contrary to reports of Gill being named as the captain for the tournament.
