Bumrah declared fit for Afghanistan T20Is; Rana ruled out with injury

Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy have been cleared to play in the upcoming T20 International series against Afghanistan after completing rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence. Both players are also set to join India's Asian Games contingent, which departs two days after the series concludes.

However, pacer Harshit Rana has been ruled out due to a fresh injury sustained during a match simulation test at the CoE on Tuesday. The BCCI has named pacer Yash Thakur as his replacement for the Afghanistan T20Is.
