Asia cup 2025: As soon as Team India’s Asia Cup 2025 squad was announced, the atmosphere has become hot in the entire country. Because a veteran sports journalist has caught everyone’s attention by making a shocking claim. He has said that a player in the team is selected due to more political influence than his cricketing performance. Now there has been a lot of stir in the corridors of cricket about this player and it is being said that if the recommendations did not work, then perhaps his name would not have been in the squad.

Who is this player?

According to many media reports, this player is none other than Rinku Singh. Rinku Singh has made headlines with his explosive innings in the IPL, but his performance at the international level has not been stable yet. The selection committee was also in favor of putting him in the standby list earlier, but due to political intervention at the last minute, his name was put in the main team. The most interesting thing is that Rinku Singh’s fiancé is an MP from the Samajwadi Party, and this is where the possibility of political influence becomes stronger.

Other players will affect!

Many experts believe that such recommendations also affect the morale of the rest of the team’s players and question the fairness of the selection system. Although no official cleanliness has been given by the BCCI on the issue, the discussion is spreading rapidly on social media that Rinku was not selected completely on merit basis.

Rinku Singh will challenge

Now that Rinku Singh has become a part of the team, all eyes will be on their performance. This will be a dual challenge for them. On the one hand, to prove critics wrong and on the other hand, take out themselves from the recommended image and confirm their place in Team India on their own.
