Yash Thakur replaces Arshdeep Singh for dead-rubber T20I
Yash Thakur comes in for Arshdeep Singh as India look to give the seamer game time before the Asian Games.
India made one change for the third T20I against Afghanistan, with Vidarbha seamer Yash Thakur replacing Arshdeep Singh. Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Thakur had been added to the squad last week as cover for Harshit Rana. The 27-year-old made his T20I debut in Zimbabwe in July, taking four wickets in two matches.
India have already secured the series 2-0. Shreyas Iyer said the team would not treat the dead rubber with complacency and would adapt to batting first on a supportive surface.
