The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is preparing to announce the squads for the upcoming one-off Test and three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, set to take place from June 6 to 20. The senior men’s selection committee, chaired by Ajit Agarkar, is expected to present a full-strength squad for the Test match in New Chandigarh. However, the inclusion of world No. 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah remains uncertain as he may be rested due to workload management, given that the Test is not part of the ongoing World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. In Bumrah's absence, Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Auqib Nabi Dar, who was instrumental in J&K’s Ranji Trophy victory as the tournament's top wicket-taker, could earn his maiden call-up. The ODI squad selection is also crucial, especially with Harshit Rana ruled out due to injury and Mohammed Shami no longer in the selectors' plans. Additionally, the selection of established players like Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, and Axar Patel is under review. Reports indicate that Prince Yadav, who has shown promise in the IPL, is in line for his first ODI call-up.
