Afghanistan's tour of India has been slotted right after the IPL ends. It starts with the one-off Test between the two sides at the PCA New Cricket Stadium in New Mullanpur in Chandigarh. The match is scheduled to start on the 6th of June. This match would not be part of the ICC World Test Championship schedule for India.
Who are the likely players to be included in India's Test and ODI setup?
Not only will stars like Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma be seen in action, but several youngsters might be picked for this home series before India makes their way to England for a long white-ball series.
Especially pace bowlers will look to impress the selectors, as they have performed pretty well this season. Mohammed Shami to Anshul Kamboj, Kartik Tyagi to Prince Yadav, all these seamers have shown some remarkable consistency and pace, making them a promising choice in the XI.
