LIVE UPDATES | India vs Afghanistan Test & ODI Squads Announcement: Will Shami Return?

India Squad For Afghanistan: It seems almost certain that Rishabh Pant would have to miss out. He may not find a spot in the ODI set-up which would mean his 2027 WC dreams would end. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: With Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma there in the mix, it will be difficult for Yashasvi Jaiswal to find a spot in the ODI set-up. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is no doubting KL Rahul's spot in the ODI set-up. He will certainly be India's first-choice keeper. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is a possibility that the meeting takes place today, but the announcement happens later once the selectors get clarity on Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya's fitness. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Some claim that left-hander Devdutt Padikkal is also in contention for a spot in the Test side. Apart from having a good domestic season, he is also enjoying a good run of form with the bat. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There are rumours doing the rounds which suggest that left-arm spinner Manav Suthar is also in the rckoning for a place in the Test side. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Gurnoor Brar has emerged as a domestic pace option for India’s one-off Test vs Afghanistan if the senior quicks are rested. The young fast bowler is reportedly on the selectors’ radar, with workload management set to shape the final squad.

India Squad For Afghanistan: With Jasprit Bumrah, it is going to be a tricky call for the selectors as he would be tired after a grueling season at the IPL. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is a high possibility that the Test squad gets announced today but the ODI squad announcement is stalled. This could happen if the selectors want to get more clarity on Hardik Pandya's fitness. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: In all probability, the announcement will happen in the second half of the day once the selectors have come to a common ground. A lot of factors and players would be discussed. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Auqib Nabi has truly been the find of the season and the grapevine has it that he is certain to make it to the Test set-up. Auqib Nabi has 60 wickets, but he does not generate a lot of pace and hence eyes would be on him when the squads are announced. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Will senior pacer Mohammed Shami find a spot in the one-off Test or the ODIs would be interesting to see. He has been bowling well in the ongoing season of the IPL. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is no doubt that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would find a spot in the ODIs versus Afghanistan, it would be interesting to see if Ravindra Jadeja makes it or misses out. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: It would also be interesting to see if Hardik Pandya finds a spot in the ODI set-up or not. His fitness would certainly be a big issue. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is no doubt that some important calls are likely to be taken in the meeting today.
