The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-clicked-at-mumbai-airport-leaving-for-uae-ahead-of-asia-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asia Cup 2022</a> gets underway on August 27, with Sri Lanka facing Afghanistan in the curtain-raiser. However, all eyes will be on the blockbuster India-Pakistan clash at the Dubai International Stadium on the 28th. Both teams would be renewing their rivalry at the very same venue where the Men in Green had broken their World Cup jinx over India with an emphatic 10-wicket victory in the last year&#8217;s T20 World Cup.

Both teams will be heading into this clash with the unavailability of their respective pace spearheads- Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Afridi, who have been ruled out due to injuries. Meanwhile, the 15-member Indian squad that has been selected for the 15th edition of the continental tournament in the UAE is full of surprises as well as notable inclusions and exclusions. Nonetheless, there will be a few of the selected players who might not get a chance in the six-team competition. Without further ado, here&#8217;s a look at three of them.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/zim-vs-ind-deepak-hooda-creates-new-world-record-after-indias-win-in-2nd-odi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deepak Hooda</a> has been India&#8217;s lucky charm ever since he made his international debut in February this year. The Indian team has gone on to register 17 successive victories in limited-overs which Hooda has played ever since his debut. More importantly, the middle-order batter has also been performing consistently for the Men in Blue in the last couple of months.

However, the Rohtak cricketer might not feature in India&#8217;s playing XI for the upcoming Asia Cup as the middle-order for the competition is already overcrowded with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, etc. leaving less or no room for Hooda.

Therefore, the bowling all-rounder might be warming the bench in Asia Cup 2022.

The only occasion where he got it horribly wrong was during a T20I game against the West Indies, where he failed miserably in the death overs. Nonetheless, he made up for it in the very next game and the following matches, which rightfully earned him a place in India&#8217;s Asia Cup squad.

Avesh would be hoping to find a place in India&#8217;s playing XI in the absence of the pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, who have been ruled out due to injuries, and Mohammed Shami (non-exclusion). However, with senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and yorker specialist Arshdeep Singh in splendid form, Avesh might not be preferred with his not-so-impressive record at the death.

Thus, India might field three pacers (Bhuveshwar, Arshdeep, and Hardik Pandya) while Avesh Khan might have to warm the bench.

Nonetheless, when it comes to a prestigious tournament like the Asia Cup, the team management might not be keen on taking a risk by giving a green signal to the emerging leggie.

India already have three seasoned spinners in their arsenal with a quality amount of experience playing on the UAE wickets. They include the likes of finger spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal has been in the form of his life since IPL 2022, and therefore, there is no way he would be benched.

Therefore, with cut-throat competition, things could be a bit difficult for the promising Ravi Bishnoi to feature in India&#8217;s playing XI for the Asia Cup 2022.
