India considers lineup changes for upcoming Test against Afghanistan
Summary

India is weighing Mohammed Siraj's availability for the one-off Test against Afghanistan set for June 6 in Mullanpur. Siraj's participation remains uncertain due to fatigue after playing every match in the IPL with Gujarat Titans. If rested, Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi will replace him, as he has performed well domestically. Gurnoor Brar is also a potential candidate for a Test debut if Siraj does not play. The final decision on Siraj's status is expected within the next 48 hours.
