BCCI has announced the squad for the ODI series and the only Test against Afghanistan. Afghanistan will play the only Test on the India tour, which will be played in New Chandigarh from June 6 to 10. After this, the 3-match ODI series will start from June 14. There are a total of 4 players in Test and ODI who have got a place in Team India for the first time. Those players are Prince Yadav, Harsh Dubey, Manav Suthar and Gurnoor Brar. But due to his arrival, there are many players whose career is in danger.
There are Harsh Dubey and Gurnoor Brar, who have been selected in the Test and ODI squads against Afghanistan. Prince Yadav has been included only in the ODI series and Manav Suthar has been included only in the Test squad. Although their performance will decide their future, but with their arrival the future of many other players is in danger.
Questions on the future of Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja
Harsh Dubey is an all-rounder player, who has got a place in Test and ODI. Akshar Patel has been dropped. Harsh is also a left-arm spinner, who can bat well and is being tried in place of Akshar. In such a situation, if Harsh Dubey performs effectively then Akshar Patel’s comeback will be difficult.
Talking about Ravindra Jadeja, he has also been rested, but Harsh Dubey and Manav Suthar can take advantage of this opportunity and ensure their place in the future. Both of them are contenders to replace 37-year-old Jadeja, but for this they will have to take advantage of this opportunity.
Siraj’s return to ODI will be difficult, Shami’s career over?
Jasprit Bumrah will not play in both the formats against Afghanistan, he has been rested. Mohammad Siraj has got a place in Test, but not in ODI. Gurnoor Brar of Punjab and Prince Yadav of Delhi are fast bowlers, who have performed brilliantly in domestic. In such a situation, if these bowlers bowl well in powerplay and death overs, remain economical or take important wickets, then it will be very difficult for Siraj to return to the ODI team. Mohammed Shami has been ignored for a long time, if these bowlers succeed in making an impact then Shami’s international career may end.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s international career also over?
Bhuvi is bowling brilliantly in IPL 2026, he is taking wickets in the powerplay and no batsman has been seen scoring runs easily against him. He was not tried in the ODI squad against Afghanistan, Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav have been given a chance. From this it can be understood that BCCI is no longer considering the name of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Difficult for Rishabh Pant to return to ODI
Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has got a place in the Test, although he has been removed from the vice-captaincy. He has been dropped from ODIs, which indicates that he may not be a part of the plans for the ODI World Cup to be held in 2027. Although he has no fear of these 4 new players in his ODI comeback, questions are being raised on his future in ODI.
