Quick observations & usage notes
- Authority: The ICC’s “All the squads announced for 2025 Men’s Asia Cup” page is the primary compilation I used — it lists each team’s announced players. Use the ICC page as your canonical source on the CrickTales article. (icc)
- Board confirmations: For India, I referenced the BCCI media release; for Oman the ICC’s dedicated story; Sri Lanka’s inclusion of Wanindu Hasaranga was confirmed by Reuters and ICC. (BCCI, icc, Reuters)
- UAE squad: If you need the UAE playing XI or 16-man list immediately, I can fetch the host board’s announcement and update the page. (ICC indicated the UAE list was outstanding at the time of their roundup.) (icc)
