Team India will face Afghanistan for a one-off Test and 3 match ODI series in June. The series begins on 6 June with India’s squad announcement expected on Tuesday. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested for the series due to his workload management. The selection meeting will be held in Guwahati, according to reports. Along with this, Rohit Sharma’s fitness will also be discussed. Eyes will also be on Devdutt Padikkal, Auqib Nabi and Prince Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested for Afghanistan series According to the selection committee, there is less possibility of Jasprit Bumrah playing together in Tests and ODIs. He is likely to be rested from the ODI series so that he can be kept fit for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The team management does not want to take any risk in this case. In Bumrah’s absence, Mohammed Siraj may lead India’s pace attack. The selection of Prasidh Krishna is also considered certain. The availability of Hardik Pandya, who is struggling with a back problem, is still not clear. India are scheduled to play a one-off Test against Afghanistan from 6 to 10 June before the ODI series begins on June 14. All eyes on Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli’s future Rohit Sharma has been struggling with a muscle injury in the IPL. He remained out of several matches for Mumbai in the IPL. In such a situation, the selectors will include him in the ODI team only if he is completely fit. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, who is in excellent form, is likely to play all three ODI matches. Selectors eye Devdutt Padikkal for No. 3 in Test After Cheteshwar Pujara’s exit, India has not found a permanent batter at the No.3 position in Tests. Sai Sudharsan got opportunities, but he could not make an impact. Now there is a plan to groom Devdutt Padikkal as a long-term option. Eyes on Auqib Nabi and Prince Yadav Fast bowler Auqib Nabi, who took 60 wickets for Jammu-Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy, may get a chance in the Test team. Meanwhile, Prince Yadav, who impressed with his fast bowling in the IPL, is in the race for the ODI team.
