Actually, there is going to be a Twenty series against Afghanistan and three matches are to be played in this Twenty series. The series is to start in India from 11th January. A report has come out that the team may arrive on January 5 or January 7, that is, the team may be announced. The announcement will be made as soon as the series in South Africa is over. The team will have a test match between January 3 and 7. In the meantime, the team may be announced or after the match ends, whether on the 6th or the 7th.
There have also been reports that Ajit Agarkar, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be talked to about their T20 career. Ajit Agarkar can say that you should play T-Twenty cricket because if you want to play the World Cup.
After the T-20 series, there is also going to be a Test series against England. There will be discussion regarding this also. T-Twenty, then Test series, then IPL, then T-20 World Cup, who is the chief selector of Ajit Agar. They can talk to them and ask about their plans. Because both the players have not played this format since the T-Twenty World Cup. There are also reports that Rohit Sharma can be made the captain of T-Twenty. Because he has less captaincy options left for the World Cup, Rohit can be made the captain keeping in mind the T-Twenty World Cup, because Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are not in this series.
Now it is not possible that someone else should be made the captain in this series and Rohit Sharma would be called. Go and captain the T20 World Cup. And in this series, both Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are not options, so Rohit Sharma can be made the captain and in view of the World Cup, he can be given the responsibility in future also.
And Rituraj Gaikwad is also out of the series due to injury, apart from this, players like Bumrah Jadeja Lokesh Rahul may also be given a break, this report has also come out, the youth team may get a chance in this series.
And BCCI meeting is going to be held in Delhi on January 2. It has been said that the report has come out. And in that the team will almost be finalized but its announcement will be made after a few days.
There will be a three-match series against Afghanistan on January 11, January 14 and Twenty-three matches on January 17, and if we look at the possible three, if fifteen players are selected, then it will include Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Rinku Singh, Aksar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Harshdeep, and Mohammed Siraj, Chuky Bhumra may be rested, so the young pace battery may get a chance here.
So now the report has also come out. Three will be announced by 5th or 7th January, such a meeting is to be held on 2nd also, these news have also come out and it is being told that there is 80% chance that Rohit Sharma will become the captain here and maybe the World Cup. Rohit Sharma will be given the captaincy in the cup also because Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are the engine. Now it has to be seen that when the team is announced against Afghanistan, then which fifteen players will get the chance.
