Actually Thought He Was Going To Be Captain, Says Haddin On Iyer’s Omission For Asia Cup
Indian Premier League: Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin said he was surprised by Shreyas Iyer’s exclusion from India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, adding that he even expected the right-handed batter to be named as the side’s captain.
Iyer, who has not featured in T20Is for India since December 2023, was not included in the Suryakumar Yadav-led 15-member Asia Cup squad announced on Tuesday, nor named in the five stand-by players list. Joining the list of former players left surprised by Iyer’s omission is Haddin, who saw him from close quarters as Punjab Kings’ assistant coach in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
“Well, one, leadership qualities. Two, the style of player he is under pressure. He's someone who everyone plays better when he's in the team. I have no idea. I first thought when I was reading it that he was injured, but he's not.”
