The last group stage of the Asia Cup 2025 will be played between the Indian cricket team and Oman. Both teams will face face to face at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. This match is going to be like a practice match for Team India, who has already confirmed its place in Super-4. At the same time, Oman’s team has already been out of the Super-4 race. In such a situation, there can be big changes in the playing 11 of Team India, which indications were seen during the optional practice session.
6 players of Team India ‘missing’
Prior to the last group stage match, Team India organized an optional practice session, in which 9 players of the squad participated. Where the players tried to finalize their preparations. However, big players like Jaspreet Bumrah, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma did not attend this optional practice session. Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma are usually seen in the optional practice session, but this time both these stars also disappeared.
On the other hand, young fast bowler Harshit Rana caught everyone’s attention in the optional practice session. He sweated not only in bowling, but also in batting. Given his hard work, it is believed that in the match against Oman, he can get a chance in playing-11. He has not got a chance to play a single match in this tournament yet, in such a situation, if he becomes a part of playing 11 then it will be a big opportunity for him.
These players also sweat fiercely
In this session, fast bowler Arshdeep Singh also improved his bowling. India’s most successful T20 I bowler Arshdeep Singh has not yet got a chance to play. But Jasprit Bumrah can be rested against Oman, if this happens then Arshdeep Singh can be the first choice of the team. At the same time, batsmen Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma were also seen practicing fiercely.
