The Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI) today announced their squad for Asia Cup 2023. 

Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have returned to the national colours after being sidelined due to injury.

Hardik Pandya is appointed as the vice-captain of Team India. 

Pacer Prasidh Krishna, who made a comeback from injury with the ongoing series in Ireland, has also been included in the Asia Cup squad. 

Tilak Varma has made the cut on the back of an impressive run in his maiden T20 series in the West Indies. The 20-year-old is currently with the T20 squad in Ireland.

"It is not the original injury. There is a niggle. That is why Sanju is travelling (to Sri Lanka). We are expecting Rahul to be fit. If not the start of Asia cup may be by the second or the third game. Shreyas Iyer is fully fit," said chief selector Ajit Agarkar after announcing the squad.

Here's the Squad for Asia Cup 2023:
Rohit (C), Shubman, Kohli, Iyer, KL, Surya, Tilak, Kishan, Hardik, Jadeja, Axar, Shardul, Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Kuldeep and Prasidh Krishna.
