All-rounder Ayush Badoni has been added to the India A squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, taking the place of Rajat Patidar.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Monday that Ayush Badoni has been selected for the India A team that will compete in the forthcoming Asia Cup. The decision was reported by Udaipur‑based outlet Udaipur Kiran.
Badoni, a right‑hand batting all‑rounder, joins the squad as a replacement for Rajat Patidar, who was part of the original list. No official reason for Patidar's omission was provided, but the change expands Badoni's exposure to international‑level competition.
The Asia Cup, scheduled to begin later this month, will feature the top associate and full‑member nations from the continent. India A’s management expects Badoni’s inclusion to strengthen the side’s middle order and provide additional bowling options.
Cricket analysts note that the move reflects the board’s focus on grooming emerging talent ahead of the senior team’s upcoming commitments, and Badoni will now have the opportunity to showcase his skills on a larger stage.
