Some Indians who played in the test match against Afghanistan have reached Mullanpur. The only test match between India and Afghanistan will be played here from June 6. Test team vice-captain KL Rahul and many other players have reached Mullanpur, but captain Shubman Gill has not joined the team yet.
Captain Phil and other players will reach Mullanpur on 3rd June. Players who have not yet reached the venue include Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Prasidh Krishna, Devdutt Padikkal, Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna. There is a reason for Gujarat Titans having more players among them. Actually, after the final match of IPL 2026, there was news of fire in the team bus of Gujarat Titans. It is possible that the players playing for GT have not been able to travel quickly.
At the same time, many players of RCB have not reached Mullanpur yet. It is also worth noting that some players including Mohammad Siraj have been playing continuously after the T20 World Cup 2026 and have not got time for rest. According to a recent update, apart from the 15-member Indian squad, 6 other players have also reached Mullanpur, of which Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Aaqib Nabi is also one.
The Afghanistan team had come to India on May 27, which is improving its preparations. Let us tell you that Rashid Khan will not play in the test match, but will join the Afghanistan team for the ODI series.
