Gill & Co. Must Not Make The Mistake Of Taking Afghanistan Lightly In ODIs: Nayar

T20 World Cup: Former India allrounder Abhishek Nayar has warned Shubman Gill and his side not to make the mistake of taking Afghanistan lightly in the upcoming three-game ODI series, adding that the oppositions white-ball players armed with global franchise cricket playing experience can pose a serious challenge. India will play its first ODI against Afghanistan on June 13 in Dharamshala, and is followed by matches in Lucknow and Chennai. Afghanistan will be a much tougher challenge in this ODI series. Almost every player in their whiteball squad plays franchise cricket around the world. That gives them a lot of exposure. Whether it's T20s or ODIs, they play an aggressive brand of cricket. Their bowlers have the ability to trouble Indian batters as well. That said, there is still a big gap in quality between the two sides. Afghanistan will be aiming to win at least two games in this series. If they manage that, it will be a huge achievement for them and a major upset for India. So, Shubman Gill and his men must not make the mistake of taking Afghanistan lightly, said Nayar on JioHotstar. On the number three slot in Kohlis absence, Nayar, the former India assistant coach, selected Ishan Kishan ahead of Yashasvi Jaiswal. If you look at the recent form of Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan has always stepped up whenever there has been an injury. He has performed well every time. He was excellent in the T20 World Cup and also did well against New Zealand in the T20I series. He is a more experienced and proven option at number three compared to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal is naturally an opener. In his last ODI, he scored a century while opening the innings. So based on experience and comfort in the number three role, I would go with Ishan Kishan. Nayar also explained the bowling combinations India can explore in absence of many first-choice bowlers. I feel Harsh Dubey will play because the team will need a leftarm spinner. He is also a useful allrounder. The real question is which fast bowlers will get a chance. I want to see Prasidh Krishna's workload managed carefully. If the team wants to give him game time, they should also look at Gurnoor Brar. He was part of the Test squad but didn't get a chance to play there. However, he should be in the scheme of things for the ODI playing XI. Prince Yadav has also performed very well recently. So, I would like to see Harsh Dubey with either Prince Yadav or Gurnoor Brar, along with Arshdeep Singh. These bowlers have played a lot of cricket and should be given a chance to prove themselves, he said. With the preparation for 2027 Mens ODI World Cup the main focus, former India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla stressed on the importance of giving emerging players exposure. Rohit Sharma is the main man for India in this ODI series. He only plays one format now, so his game time matters. With Virat not in the squad, more responsibility falls on Rohit's shoulders. He will be keen to deliver, especially in home conditions. Prince Yadav has also performed very well recently. So, I would like to see Harsh Dubey with either Prince Yadav or Gurnoor Brar, along with Arshdeep Singh. These bowlers have played a lot of cricket and should be given a chance to prove themselves, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So, we need to keep an eye on him and others like him. Harsh Dubey should also get a game or two in this series. He has done well in the Ranji Trophy and the IPL. This is the right time to give young players a chance and see how they fit into the bigger picture for 2027, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Hardik To Miss ODIs Against Afghanistan Due To Niggle In His Leg

ODI World Cup: In what comes as a huge blow to the Indian team, seambowling allrounder Hardik Pandya likely to miss Indias upcoming threematch ODI series against Afghanistan after picking up a niggle in his leg. Pandya, who missed a few games for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 due to back spasms, was present at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru since June 2 and was believed to be on track for getting a fitness clearance for the ODI series against Afghanistan, starting on June 13 in Dharamshala and followed by games in Lucknow and Chennai. He also did bowling at full tilt, apart from doing his batting and fielding drills seamlessly at CoE. But the late injury setback now leaves Pandya, who has 94 ODI caps, on the verge of missing the upcoming three-game series. Hardik Pandya was close to being fully cleared by CoE for the ODI series against Afghanistan. But it has now come to the light that he has picked up a slight niggle in his leg and will require a few weeks of recovery. This very late setback means he now remains short of achieving full fitness for the ODI series and will now focus on recovering from his latest injury at the CoE, sources to told IANS on Wednesday. Pandyas absence leaves India without one of their most experienced seambowling allrounder as they look to fine tune their combinations for the 2027 Mens ODI World Cup. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball has been central to Indias ODI plans, though Pandya hasnt played a 50-over game after the 2025 Champions Trophy triumph. With the wait for Pandya playing an ODI game now set to be extended, it remains to be seen if he will achieve full fitness in time for the three-game series against England, to be played from July 14-19. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball has been central to Indias ODI plans, though Pandya hasnt played a 50-over game after the 2025 Champions Trophy triumph.
