Shubman Gill has been named vice-captain in India’s Asia Cup squad. Gill, who is India’s test captain, scored 754 runs across five tests in England where a thrilling series ended in a 2-2 tie.

Shubman Gill has made a comeback to India's T20I squad for the Asia Cup and has replaced Axar Patel as vice-captain. The Asia Cup is India's first T20I assignment since the bilateral series against England at home in January.

Defending champions India named top order batter Shubman Gill and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in their Twenty20 squad on Tuesday for next month's Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
