In what comes as a new development, the Indian team management and selectors are preparing to field a near full-strength batting line-up for the one-off Test against Afghanistan next month, despite the match not being part of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
India, led by Shubman Gill, will host Afghanistan for a historic one-off Test in New Chandigarh starting June 6, followed by a three-match ODI series. According to the Times of India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already started workload conversations with players in contention and is satisfied with the physical condition of the batting group.
That means India’s established red-ball core of KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are all expected to feature in the Test.
“The initial plan was to keep monitoring the players’ workload and the medical team has not found any red flags at the moment regarding the batting group. There is still a week before the IPL playoffs picture becomes clearer but all the regular batters – KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant – are all set to take the field for the Afghanistan Test,” a source tracking developments told TOI. “The BCCI gets regular data on player workload during the IPL and is satisfied with what it has seen so far,” the source added.
