India and Afghanistan will play a three-match T20 series starting on January 11. In light of this, the Team India roster was also revealed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It’s Rohit Sharma who is the captain. Numerous key players have been left out of this squad by the selectors. In the Cape Town Test, India achieved a historic victory thanks to the efforts of two players.
For the T20 series against Afghanistan,
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have rejoined the 16-man Indian squad. Let us inform you that in 14 months, both of these great batsmen will be seen competing in this format of international cricket. The most recent T20 World Cup semi-final between the two batsmen and England took place in November 2022.
The Indian team defeated
South Africa by seven wickets in their most recent test match in Cape Town. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, two pacers, bowled incredibly well in this match. In the first innings of the contest, Siraj claimed six wickets, and in the second, Bumrah accomplished the same thing. The squad was only able to win this game because of these two. After the Twenty20 series against Afghanistan, both of these bowlers received a break.
KL Rahul, the wicketkeeper-batsman,
has also been excluded from this series despite scoring a century in the opening game against South Africa. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been added as wicketkeeper batsmen in their stead.
Shreyas Iyer, a middle-order batsman,
won’t be participating in this T20 series. He was part of Team India on the South Africa tour. However, he could not show anything special with the bat.
Additionally, the lethal Indian all-round
player Ravindra Jadeja is not included in the team to face Afghanistan. Jadeja was named to the South Africa Test team, but a back injury prevented him from playing in the opening game. He was included in the starting lineup for the second game at the same time.
