Hardik Pandya and Nitish Reddy cleared for Afghanistan T20Is
Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy are available for India's T20I series against Afghanistan while Washington Sundar nears clearance.
Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy have been cleared for selection ahead of India's three-match T20I series against Afghanistan starting September 13 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Washington Sundar is closing in on fitness approvals and could make a swift return to the team.
Jasprit Bumrah's recovery is on track and he could feature in the Asian Games later in September. Krunal Pandya remains under consideration for the left-arm spin all-rounder role.
The selection committee is expected to finalise the squad this week for the series that forms part of India's preparation for the Asian Games cricket event in Japan.
