Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin opined that Shivam Dube doesn't have a place in India's squad for Asia Cup 2025. "Dube can be in a backup position," he said, adding that if Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma form top five, then positions six and seven are left, where Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya are fit to play.
