Asia Cup 2022: Asia Cup 2022 will start in UAE from 27th August. The Indian team for this tournament was announced on Monday, 8 August. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul had returned in this team. So at the same time some good players did not get a chance in the team. Especially the two players who have scored the most runs for India in the year 2022 while playing T20 cricket so far. We are talking about Shreyas Iyer and Ishaan Kishan. Iyer is in the list of standby players, while Ishaan has not been included in any list.

If we talk about the performance of these two players, then Shreyas Iyer is the highest run-scorer for India in T20 International in the year 2022. He has scored 449 runs in 14 innings of 14 matches at an average of 44.90 and strike rate of 142.99. During this he has scored 4 half-centuries. In the absence of Virat Kohli, he has been playing at number-3. In the last T20 against West Indies, he also scored a fifty while opening. But when the team was selected for the Asia Cup, Deepak Hooda was given priority. The right-handed batsman was placed on the standby list.

Ishan Kishan was not selected in the squad for the Asia Cup

If we look at the performance of Ishan Kishan, he has also scored 430 runs in 14 T20 matches this year at an average of 30.71 and strike rate of 130.30. He was not even selected in the team for the Asia Cup. His name is also not in the list of standby players. KL Rahul has made a comeback and the presence of Rishabh Pant. And Dinesh Karthik as wicketkeepers has put difficulties in Ishaan’s path. It is worth noting that he was selected in the last T20 World Cup. And he also played against New Zealand.

Apart from these two players, Sanju Samson and Mohammed Shami are also raising a lot of questions about not getting a place in the team. Sanju has also performed brilliantly in the last days whenever he has got a chance. Samson played a brilliant half-century innings in that century innings of Deepak Hooda in Ireland. At the same time, there is a lot of discussion about not including Mohammed Shami. Who has not played in T20 Internationals since the last T20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah is out due to injury, so everyone wanted senior bowler Shami to get a chance.
