Jasprit Bumrah is back in the mix, but his inclusion comes with a big asterisk: he’s only in if fit. That’s huge; he’s been out since that knee injury in England. Even more surprising? No Pandya brothers. Hardik’s got a fresh leg issue and is told to skip bowling for now, while Krunal, despite rumors, didn’t make the cut. Sanju Samson returns after being left out for Zimbabwe; will he open again? Or will the young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi get the nod? If Sooryavanshi plays, it’ll be his first international game on home soil... even though Afghanistan is technically hosting. The squad’s identical to the one heading to Japan for the Asian Games; which means this is also a dress rehearsal for bigger things. Three T20Is in Delhi, starting Sept 13; and if Bumrah plays, it could be a showstopper.
