Why Rohit & Kohli won't play in Asia Cup 2025? The primary reason lies in the tournament format. The Asia Cup was previously held in the ODI format, but in recent years, the ICC has shifted it to T20.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been India's top performers against Pakistan, but the veterans won't take the field if the Asia Cup goes ahead. The reason is simple - they are retired.
