“When my time comes…” - Yashasvi Jaiswal breaks the silence on Asia Cup 2025 snub

Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who failed to make it to the Asia Cup 2025 campaign, has finally broken the silence on his snub for the eight-team showpiece event. Notably, Shubman Gill has been elevated as the new vice-captain of the Indian T20I team, and he has been opening the innings alongside Abhishek Sharma in the current T20I set-up.

Notably, Jaiswal has scored 723 runs in 23 games in the shortest format of the game at a strike rate of 164.31 and an average of 36.15, with a century and five half-centuries. Speaking exclusively to Mashable India, Jaiswal stated that when his time comes, everything falls in place.

“I don’t think about. It’s all in the hands of selectors. The decisions are taken according to the team combination. I will do whatever I can,” said Yashasvi during a conversation with Mashable India.

“When my time comes, things will fall into place. I just want to keep working on myself and keep working hard,” he added.

While Jaiswal could play only one ODI for Team India, he has racked up 1526 List-A runs to his name in 33 matches at an average of 52.62. In Test cricket, he has accumulated 2209 runs in only 24 matches at an average of 50.20 with six centuries and 12 half-centuries. 

On the other hand, the former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra has stated that it is an injustice that Jaiswal is guaranteed a spot in only one format for now. He might be next seen playing against the Caribbean side in the two-match Test series.

“When you see Yashasvi, it seems like he is a three-format player. However, currently, he is playing only one format, and it seems like a travesty. It seems almost an injustice,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

“The truth for now is that he will play the two Tests against the West Indies, and I am pretty sure he will score runs as well because he is that kind of a player. I think he will now get a chance to travel with the ODI team. When the three-match series against Australia starts, he will be there,” he added.
