India Names T20I Squad with Four Players Pending Fitness ClearancePreviousNext

India's 15-man T20I squad for the upcoming series against Afghanistan includes four players—Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy, and Washington Sundar—who are yet to receive full fitness clearance. The selection committee's cautious approach follows recent instances of players being rushed back and suffering further injuries. Notably, Hardik Pandya remains absent due to fitness concerns. Several players have been replaced in recent tours due to injuries, reflecting ongoing fitness challenges within the team.
