The squad selected for the tournament looked pretty much likely and as expected although there were speculations that the star India leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal was not being selected into the squad. Considering that the Asia Cup would be played in Sri Lankan conditions, having a leg spinner in the arsenal would have been a wiser move by the Indian team.
