Krunal Pandya posts cryptic message after Afghanistan T20I squad omission

Krunal Pandya shared a cryptic Instagram story after being left out of India's squad for the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. The left-arm spinner has taken 130 runs at an average of 65.00 in five matches this season.

Pandya remains optimistic about an India return despite the snub. BCCI sources indicate he is still under consideration for future white-ball assignments.

Jasprit Bumrah returns to the squad subject to fitness clearance, while Hardik Pandya was ruled out after developing a leg niggle during rehabilitation.
