The three-match T20 series between India and Afghanistan will begin from January 11. Five days before the start of the series, Afghanistan announced the 19-member squad on Saturday. Ibrahim Zadran has been given the captaincy of the Afghanistan team for the first time in India for the T20 series. The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be held in June this year and this series is very important for both the teams, especially for the T20 World Cup. Team India has taken this series seriously as this is the last T20 series for Team India’s preparation. Though they have not announced Team India for this series, BCCI is likely to announce the squad today. Afghanistan’s regular T20 captain Rashid Khan has been named in the squad for the T20 series against India. But he is doubtful to play in all three matches of the series. Actually, Rashid recently underwent a back surgery and is currently recovering gradually.Ibrahim Zadran, who led Afghanistan to a 2-1 win over UAE in Sharjah, will lead Afghanistan in the series against India, while star spinner Mujeeb ur Rehman is back in the squad.
Team India selection soon..
On the other hand, BCCI will soon announce the Indian team for the T20 series against Afghanistan. There are reports that Rohit Sharma will be chosen as the captain again. With Hardik and Suryakumar Yadav suffering from injuries, it seems that the reins of the Indian team will be handed over to Hitman again. Virat Kohli will also make an entry into the shorter format.
