T20 International format.
MSK Prasad, the former chairman of selectors and wicketkeeper, stated on Sunday that if both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have declared themselves fit for the T20 World Cup in June, then they need to be included in the T20I squad for the forthcoming series against Afghanistan.
After the ODI World Cup, they were supposed to return to T20Is. India had matches against South Africa and Australia, but they missed both of those matches as well, which sparked debate over whether they would even play in the World Cup in June, which the USA and the West Indies would be co-hosting.
If news about the ICC tournament in 2024 is to be believed, Kohli and Rohit have both committed to participate.
India has been placed in Group A with Pakistan, Ireland, the United States, and Canada. And if that's the case, former India top selector MSK Prasad believes that Agarkar and his committee ought to choose them right away for the series against Afghanistan.
Without a doubt, I would like our key players to participate in this series.
Remember that Afghanistan is a very competitive nation. After a major event such as the ODI World Cup, India needed a little break, which Kohli and Rohit received before the South Africa match, and they performed rather well with the youth then, he said.
The three-match series will take place at Mohali, Indore, and Bengaluru, respectively, from January 11 to January 17.
