IND vs AFG T20 Series: A three-match T20 series is to be played between India and Afghanistan from 11 to 17 January. This is India's last T20 series before the T20 World Cup.
Team India T20I Squad: After the two-match Test series against South Africa, Team India has to play a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. This will be Team India's last T20 series before the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, this will be the last chance for India to try other things including team combination for the World Cup. This is the reason why this series is considered very important.
Team India's squad for this series is almost certain to be announced next week. It is believed that only those players who want to get a chance in the T20 World Cup will be a part of this squad. In such a situation, there is a lot of discussion about Rohit Sharma also. If the selectors want to give him the command of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024, then he can definitely make a comeback in T20 cricket from the Afghanistan series. A report regarding this has also come from a BCCI source.
According to a news from Inside Sports, a senior BCCI official has said, 'It will depend on the selectors as to who should be given the captaincy of the Indian team in the Afghanistan series. We have had a long conversation with Rohit and he is ready to captain Team India once again in the T20 World Cup. But at present the Test series against England is very important. In such a situation, Ajit Agarkar will talk to Rohit and then decide whether he returns to T20 from this series or not.
In a meeting after the World Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma had a clear discussion with BCCI officials regarding the T20 World Cup. Rohit had clearly asked whether he is included in BCCI's plans for T20 World Cup 2024? So BCCI officials including coach Rahul Dravid and the selectors agreed to this. However, it is still being speculated that this time Rohit and Virat will not be there in the T20 World Cup and the Indian team will focus on youth under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.
