India will face Afghanistan in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Saturday, June 13. With Jasprit Bumrah rested and Mohammed Siraj unavailable, uncapped fast bowlers Prince Yadav and Gurnoor Brar can make their international debut.
"That's definitely part of our thinking and our vision - to give ourselves options for that World Cup in South Africa," Morkel said on the eve of the first ODI in Dharamsala. "It's good for Indian cricket that we give guys opportunities under pressure against good opposition and see what they can do."
