3 Players who should have been a part of Team India for Asia Cup 2023

Indian team have announced a 17-member squad for the Asia Cup 2023 and notably there were some surprising inclusions like Tilak Varma being fast tracked into the side. Contrary to the reports, Hardik Pandya was named as the vice-captain of the side for this tournament. Sanju Samson will also be travelling with the national side as a reserve player outside the 17-member squad since KL Rahul still has some fitness concerns.Here in this article, we will have a look at three Indian players who should have been part of squad in Asia Cup 2023.1. Yuzvendra Chahal Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's exclusion from the Asia Cup 2023 squad has been a huge surprise despite the team going with 17 players. Indian team will be travelling with only one wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, but Chahal's presence in place of the new batter Tilak Varma could be a valuable addition as the team currently looks at one spin bowling option to play in venues like Pallekele.Notably, Chahal was last seen playing ODI match against New Zealand in Indore in January 2023.#PAGE_BREAK#2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar The pace bowler would have created an impact for his side due to the experience he has in international cricket at big stage but however he faced a lot of setbacks due to injury in his career and in meantime lot of fresh faces like Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, and Umran Malik etc. got to feature in his place.Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a fantastic IPL season in 2023, but despite his performance, he has been overlooked constantly since he was last seen playing for India in November 2022. Notably, Prasidh Krishna and Jasprit Bumrah are coming back to the ODI setup after a very period of more than one year.#PAGE_BREAK#3. Ravichandran Ashwin As mentioned earlier, the Indian squad currently features one spin bowling option and with the number of left-handers who play in opposition sides, Ashwin could have been a useful addition to the side, seeing the Sri Lankan pitches. Ashwin made a comeback in limited overs cricket in T20 World Cup 2021 after a four-year gap, but he was last seen playing ODIs in January 2022 against South Africa. Ashwin after T20 World Cup 2022 wasn't seen playing for India in any limited overs format.
