Rohit Sharma is set to play in the India’s upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan after being cleared by the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE), according to NDTV. The same reporting states that Virat Kohli is not included in the squad for the Afghanistan ODIs. One former India player is quoted as suggesting a replacement for Kohli for the series, referring to Rohit as a suitable option. The excerpts also describe Kohli’s absence as a notable omission, with the decision framed around fitness and selection considerations linked to the CoE clearance process. Overall, the reports focus on the change in India’s batting lineup ahead of the Afghanistan ODIs: Rohit becomes available for selection following the CoE assessment, while Kohli is unavailable for the series. No additional match details, squad lists, or timelines beyond the ODIs are provided in the supplied text.
