Indian cricket team-led by Shreyas Iyer is set to receive significant reinforcements for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, starting September 13 in Delhi. All three T20Is will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on September 13, 15 and 17, serving as crucial preparation for the Asian Games cricket event in Japan later that month.
The Ajit Agarkar-led senior men’s selection committee is likely to meet this week to finalize the squad for the Afghanistan T20Is, with a strong focus on rehabilitating all-rounders and workload management.
Likely Addition/Changes In India Squad According to a report by Times of India, India’s dynamic all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy are progressing well at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru and are on track for selection: According to TOI report, the Afghanistan series might be a “touch-and-go” scenario for Bumrah. The team management intends to avoid rushing him, aiming to ease him back through the shortest format ahead of upcoming major assignments, making a return for the Asian Games more realistic. Following the recent away fixtures where Axar Patel had lean wicket returns, the selectors and team management are discussing options for left-arm orthodox spin.
