Former India wicketkeeper Vijay Dahiya has expressed his disappointment over Shreyas Iyer's omission from the Asia Cup squad. While acknowledging India's strong bench strength, Dahiya emphasized Iyer's value in the middle order.

Despite the setback, Dahiya remains confident in India's chances at the Asia Cup, citing the team's overall depth and talent. However, he acknowledged the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket, suggesting that Iyer's absence could be felt in crucial situations.
