Hockey India on Wednesday announced an 18-member squad for the upcoming Men’s Asia Cup, scheduled to be held in Rajgir in Bihar from August 29 to September 7.

The Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2025 has been announced as Shubman Gill returns to the set-up after more than a year. Gill is named as the vice-captain for Suryakumar Yadav.

Indian team management is likely to back the Abhishek–Gill pair at the top and Samson might be asked to bat down the order. Still, a look at their T20I numbers paints an interesting picture.
