Meanwhile, Kohli will miss the 1st T20I against Afghanistan which will be played on January 11 at Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium/ Mohali Stadium (The Punjab Cricket Association Ajitgarh) in Mohali. India head coach Rahul Dravid revealed on Wednesday ahead of the first clash.
Kohli has not played a T20I match since the 2022 T20 World Cup which was played in Australia. However, Kohli will be available for the next two matches against Afghanistan. The modern-day great will miss the first T20I citing personal reasons.
There were reports earlier that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will open the innings for India against Afghanistan but now in the absence of Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings with India captain.
India’s head coach revealed that while India would only play one T20I series before the T20 World Cup in 2024, the success of players in the Indian Premier League (IPL) will factor into the team selection for the tournament.
