BCCI discusses India star for T20I series against Afghanistan after five-year absence
The BCCI has discussed the possible recall of a senior India player for the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan after a five-year absence.
The BCCI has discussed the possible recall of a senior India player for the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan scheduled later this month. The player has not featured in T20Is for five years.
NDTV Sports reported that the discussion comes ahead of the series, which will feature several big names making comebacks. The player under consideration has not played T20 cricket for India since 2021.
The three-match series will be played in India and marks Afghanistan's return to bilateral competition against the hosts after a long gap.

The five-year gap suggests the player's form in domestic or franchise cricket has finally aligned with selection criteria. Afghanistan's presence in the series offers a low-risk environment to test whether the comeback is viable before tougher assignments.
