India Squad For Afghanistan: Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami, who has had a decent domestic season, could be in the reckoning for a spot in the Test side. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a prolific run-getter in the domestic season, does that mean he stands a chance to make the Test squad for the one-off game against Afghanistan? Interesting to see what happens. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: As per reports, we are an hour away from the announcement. The suspense is building with every passing minute. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: As per reports, the meeting will start shortly. The announcement is expected to happen at 4:30 PM IST. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: India’s squads for the Afghanistan series are likely to be announced today following the selection committee meeting in Guwahati. The BCCI hasn’t given an official time, but the announcement is expected around 4:30 PM IST.

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is little doubt over Kohli's spot in the ODI side. While he is certain to make it, there are doubts over Rohit Sharma. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: The whispers suggest that the ODI team will not be announced today, while the Test squad may be revealed. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Despite his heroics in the shortest format, it is highly unlikely that Sanju Samson gets in the squad as there is a stiff competition for that particular role in which KL Rahul seems to be a frontrunner. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: It seems almost certain that Rishabh Pant would have to miss out. He may not find a spot in the ODI set-up which would mean his 2027 WC dreams would end. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: With Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma there in the mix, it will be difficult for Yashasvi Jaiswal to find a spot in the ODI set-up. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is no doubting KL Rahul's spot in the ODI set-up. He will certainly be India's first-choice keeper. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is a possibility that the meeting takes place today, but the announcement happens later once the selectors get clarity on Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya's fitness. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Some claim that left-hander Devdutt Padikkal is also in contention for a spot in the Test side. Apart from having a good domestic season, he is also enjoying a good run of form with the bat. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There are rumours doing the rounds which suggest that left-arm spinner Manav Suthar is also in the rckoning for a place in the Test side. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Gurnoor Brar has emerged as a domestic pace option for India’s one-off Test vs Afghanistan if the senior quicks are rested. The young fast bowler is reportedly on the selectors’ radar, with workload management set to shape the final squad.

India Squad For Afghanistan: With Jasprit Bumrah, it is going to be a tricky call for the selectors as he would be tired after a grueling season at the IPL. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is a high possibility that the Test squad gets announced today but the ODI squad announcement is stalled. This could happen if the selectors want to get more clarity on Hardik Pandya's fitness. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: In all probability, the announcement will happen in the second half of the day once the selectors have come to a common ground. A lot of factors and players would be discussed. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Auqib Nabi has truly been the find of the season and the grapevine has it that he is certain to make it to the Test set-up. Auqib Nabi has 60 wickets, but he does not generate a lot of pace and hence eyes would be on him when the squads are announced. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: Will senior pacer Mohammed Shami find a spot in the one-off Test or the ODIs would be interesting to see. He has been bowling well in the ongoing season of the IPL. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is no doubt that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would find a spot in the ODIs versus Afghanistan, it would be interesting to see if Ravindra Jadeja makes it or misses out. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: It would also be interesting to see if Hardik Pandya finds a spot in the ODI set-up or not. His fitness would certainly be a big issue. 

India Squad For Afghanistan: There is no doubt that some important calls are likely to be taken in the meeting today.
