Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are eager to participate in T20 Internationals. Indian batting duo Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have notified the BCCI that, although they haven’t played in T20 Internationals since the 2022 T20 World Cup, they are still eligible to be selected for the shortest format.
To choose the side for the first two Test matches against England and the three Twenty20 matches against Afghanistan, the selection committee will convene on Friday.
January 11 marks the commencement of the series against Afghanistan, while January 25 marks the start of the five-match Test series against England.
Before the World Cup in June, the Indian team will only play three Twenty20 International matches against Afghanistan.
Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav’s injuries prevent them from being selected, hence the selection committee will have to choose a new T20 skipper.
The selection committee may also decide to bench Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, two fast bowlers, for the team’s next match against Afghanistan.
India defeated South Africa handily on Thursday in Cape Town, thanks in large part to the contributions of Siraj and Bumrah. India tied the series after two games.
The management of the Indian team wants their two top-scoring pacers to be fully fit for the lengthy home series against England.
In Cape Town are three selectors: chief selector Ajit Agarkar, SS Das, and Salil Ankola.
