IND vs AFG T20I Series:

With a leadership vacuum, Rohit Sharma, the seasoned Indian batter, will likely come back, ending his break from T20Is to take up the captaincy again.

Discussions During IND vs SA Test Series:

After finishing the two-test matches with South Africa, team India is preparing for a three-match T20I series against Afghanistan starting on January 11. This series is super important because it’s the last chance to practice before the T20 World Cup 2024. The problem is that some of our top players like Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are injured and won’t be able to play.

So now, the team has to figure out whether to use backup players or bring back Rohit Sharma as a possible captain. Tough decisions ahead!

Return Of Senior Player:

It seems like Rohit Sharma might return as the captain of the Indian T20 cricket team because there’s a leadership gap. He’s considering ending his break from T20I cricket. Additionally, we now know when Team India will reveal the squad for the T20 series against Afghanistan.

Rohit Sharma hasn’t played T20I cricket since the T20 World Cup in 2022, where the team faced a tough exit. In a pre-match press conference for the India vs South Africa 1st Test, he expressed his eagerness to play any available cricket.

Recent reports suggest that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) sees Rohit as the top choice for captaincy in the T20 World Cup in 2024. So, it looks like Rohit might be back as the captain, and we’ll soon find out who else is in the squad for the series against Afghanistan.

Ajit Agarkar will have a conversation with Rohit and determine if he’ll come back for the series, as stated to Inside Sport by the senior BCCI official.
