The Indian team has to play a one-match Test series against Afghanistan at home from June 6 and then a three-match ODI series from June 14, regarding which all eyes are fixed on the announcement of Team India. Team India’s selection committee will hold a meeting on June 19 for the series against Afghanistan, in which the future of many players will also be discussed. One name included in this is that of wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who is the current vice-captain of the Test team. Considering Jasprit Bumrah’s workload, a decision can also be taken to rest him from the Test match.
Vice-captaincy responsibility may be taken back from Rishabh Pant
In IPL 2026, Rishabh Pant was not able to perform completely as both a batsman and captain. Now it is almost certain that they will suffer huge losses due to this. According to news agency PTI, a source in the Board of Control for Cricket in India, on the condition of anonymity, said that Rishabh Pant is a match-winning player and we cannot afford to lose him, because he has won many matches on the basis of his excellent aggressive batting. In such a situation, we can take back the additional responsibility of vice-captain from him so that he can concentrate completely on his batting.
Bumrah can be given rest keeping in mind his workload
The decision whether Jasprit Bumrah will play in the Test match against Afghanistan or not will be taken only after the BCCI medical team examines him to see if he has any kind of problem. But there is very little hope for this and keeping in mind his workload, a decision can be taken to rest him from the entire series against Afghanistan.
The sword is also hanging on Suryakumar Yadav
Team India has to play a Test and ODI series against Afghanistan, but after that it has to leave for the UK tour, in such a situation, the future of Team India’s current T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav is also at stake. Even in IPL 2026, Surya’s form was seen to be poor, due to which an informal discussion can be held with Selection Committee Secretary Devjit Saikia regarding the future of Suryakumar Yadav, because if a decision is taken to remove Surya from the responsibility of captaincy, then in this situation it is looking difficult for him to get a place in the squad because his form in international cricket has also been very poor for a long time.
