India names 15-member T20I squad for Afghanistan series
India announces 15-member T20I squad for three-match series against Afghanistan starting 13 September in New Delhi.
India has named a 15-member squad for the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. The series begins at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on 13 September.
The Men's Selection Committee finalised the group after recent discussions. Several established players remain on the sidelines despite recent domestic and franchise form.
India will travel to Japan for the 2026 Asian Games after the Afghanistan series concludes. The T20I assignment serves as preparation ahead of the multi-sport event.
CricHubb Take
The decision to rest certain players from this series suggests the selection panel is already prioritising workload management ahead of the Asian Games rather than treating every bilateral series as mandatory selection theatre.
