Rohit, Kohli return with India announcing T20I squad for Afghanistan series
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced India's squad for the approaching three-match T20I series at home against Afghanistan, scheduled to get underway from January 11 with the first T20I in Mohali. In a big boost to team India, veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the setup for the first time since the T20I World Cup 2022 where India had to face defeat.
India’s squad is rife with a versatile talent with a number of young players being incorporated. Rohit Sharma will lead the side with the availability of youngsters Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma. Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson have been added as the two wicket-keepers.
In the form of all-rounders, India have brought in Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar and Axar Patel. Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav will handle the spin department while Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar will lead the pace attack. T20I World Cup is a little less than five months away which will make this series incredibly important for India.
