India head coach Rahul Dravid revealed that Kohli will not be available for the opening T20I against Afghanistan in Mohali due to personal reasons. The tourists, on the other hand, will be without the experience of Rashid Khan, who has been ruled out of the entire series. The series marks the final leg of India's preparations for the 2024 T20 World Cup and Rohit Sharma, who has not featured in the shortest format for India since their semifinal exit at the 2022 World Cup in Australia, is back at the helm. Kohli might not be around to play to the comeback narrative but Rohit surely is. After a middling IPL 2023 season, Rohit turned around his form and approach to white-ball cricket with a near 600-run World Cup campaign at home silencing all critics. His recall -- alongside Kohli's -- for the only international series left ahead of the World Cup can't be a stop-gap arrangement, and indicates that he and Kohli still remain in India's plans for the marquee event six months later. Afghanistan, meanwhile, have been dealt with a cruel blow on the eve of the series opener with their experienced allrounder Rashid ruled out. The regular T20I captain of the side hasn't played competitive cricket since the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, skipping the ongoing BBL due to a lower-back surgery. The India series was touted to be his comeback and he did travel with the team, but on the eve of curtain-raiser he hasn't been deemed match-fit yet and will continue his rehabilitation instead on the sidelines. What is heartening for the visitors is the return of players like Mujeeb ur Rahman and Naveen-ul-Haq, whose IPL experience they can bank on, after the Afghanistan Cricket Board recently softened its stance regarding the trio's participation in franchise leagues after having temporarily cancelled the NOCs in between. As a result, Mujeeb wasn't part of the recent UAE series while the other two had managed to reach a compromise with the Board just in time to feature on that trip.
