Team India is currently dealing with multiple injuries and fitness concerns. Some of their top-tier players, like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Harshit Rana, and Varun Chakravarthy, are of concern because of their fitness status. As per current updates, Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee skipped the ODI team announcement mostly because of the injuries of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
It was reported in the early morning of June 6 that Hardik Pandya is all set to play in the ODI series against Afghanistan. The BCCI’s Center of Excellence has declared the pace bowling all-rounder fit, and the board has received the clearance certificate as well, according to the latest reports.
Rohit Sharma is yet to prove his fitness
If the reports are to be believed, Rohit Sharma can join the ODI squad a couple of days ahead of the first of the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. Before that, he needs to clear all the required sessions during the recovery period.
Why the delay in the ODI team announcement for the England series?
It is believed that BCCI is taking extra time for the team announcement for the away ODI series against England because of the uncertainties over Rohit and Virat.
On June 4, in a separate ‘X’ post, he claimed that Virat Kohli would be available for the England series. Although the national cricket team selector did not provide any specific timeline for the return of Virat.

"With Virat at this point, it's just been less than a week since he injured himself in the [IPL] finals. We don't know the timelines yet, but it looks like he might be fit for that England ODI series. It's not a definitive answer, so don't hold me to it. I haven't had a clear timeline from the physio yet," Agarkar told the media.
