With Virat Kohli sidelined by a hamstring injury, India could hand either Ishan Kishan or Yashasvi Jaiswal the No. 3 role. Newly appointed T20 captain Shreyas Iyer slots in at four, while Nitish Kumar Reddy has a major opportunity to strengthen his case as Hardik Pandya’s long-term back-up all-rounder.
India’s pace attack will be led by Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna, with Kuldeep Yadav spearheading the spin department.
Afghanistan, boosted by the return of Rashid Khan and veteran Mohammad Nabi, remains a dangerous white-ball side and will look to draw confidence from its impressive 2023 World Cup campaign.
