Yash Thakur Joins India Squads Amidst Injury Concerns

Pacer Yash Thakur joins India's T20I squad for the Afghanistan series and Asian Games. Harshit Rana ruled out due to injury. Read updates on other players.

Vidarbha pacer Yash Thakur has been included in India's squads for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, commencing September 13, and the Asian Games.

This selection represents Thakur's second T20I series; he previously debuted against Zimbabwe in July. His inclusion follows a strong showing in last year's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he took 18 wickets in seven matches.

Harshit Rana has been sidelined due to a rectus femoris strain, an injury sustained on September 7 during a match simulation. This development led to his withdrawal from the squads.

In positive news for the team, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, and Jasprit Bumrah have received fitness clearances and have been named in the updated squads for the Afghanistan T20Is.

India is also scheduled to play a unique one-off T20I against Japan before the Asian Games commence.
