India’s selection for the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan faces potential changes as Harshit Rana’s availability is in doubt following an injury picked up during match simulation. Reports also indicate Nitish Kumar Reddy’s participation is not yet confirmed, depending on fitness assessments.
Officials say players typically need around ten to fifteen days to regain match fitness after returning from injury or disruption. Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy have been cleared to return to the team, but their final roles in the Afghanistan matches will depend on selectors’ evaluation of their conditions.
Several updates are expected soon, including a call on Jasprit Bumrah’s availability made after assessment on Thursday morning. The timing of Bumrah’s fitness decision is expected to influence how India finalizes its squad and preparations, with one report noting broader concerns about scheduling for the Asian Games.
