Summary

India faces uncertainty about the participation of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan. Reports indicate that Kohli is likely to miss the series due to injury, while Sharma's availability depends on passing a fitness test after a hamstring issue during IPL 2026. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not officially ruled either player out yet. If both are unavailable, selectors may consider younger players for the opportunity to play in their stead.
