Shreyas Iyer was on Saturday named captain of India's 15-member squad for the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi among the notable inclusions in a side blending established stars and emerging talent.
The squad, announced by the BCCI, will be led by Iyer, while Tilak Varma has been appointed vice-captain. The selection marks another major milestone in Sooryavanshi's meteoric rise, with the 15-year-old earning a place alongside some of India's leading white-ball performers.
