Ex-India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar questioned Shreyas Iyer's exclusion from India's Asia Cup 2025 squad. "I always say this, selection, after a while, becomes about who you like a little more than the other," he said, adding, "Maybe Shreyas isn't as liked as someone else is." Shreyas, who also missed out on the five stand-bys, has scored 1,104 T20I runs.
