The BCCI has named the players included for the Asia Cup 2022. It will be a T20 format due to the upcoming ICC T20I World Cup in October. The Asia Cup is played with the One Day format, but for the second time in its history ODI will be replaced by T20I. Shikhar Dhawan, Indian ODI captain against the West Indies series, is not named in the T20I squad for Asia Cup.
Dhawan was questioned about his absence from the T20I squad and why is only prioritized in ODI. “I honestly don’t know about it, maybe it could be the reason. I don’t want to go deep about it, I have not played T20 for India for a long time now, and I don’t know where I see myself. I look to make the most out of every opportunity I am getting. Be it IPL, domestic cricket, or ODI, I just want to do well, and that is the only thing under my control” Dhawan said to The Indian Express.
He was asked about involvement in the ODI format and its future. Shikhar replied, “I really enjoy ODI cricket. It’s an art and still has charm. I love playing it. Like Test and T20 have their values, ODI cricket is also exciting. I really like it.” He was questioned regarding Virat Kohli’s form, to which he stated, “Virat is just one inning away, and he is a champion player. I am sure he will come back soon. Once he starts going, there is no stopping for him.”
