Sanju Samson, Avesh Khan, and Kuldeep Yadav return to India Playing XI vs AFG
After Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, and Jitesh Sharma gave their auditions for the T20 World Cup 2024 with their performances, the Indian management felt it was time to give the probables for the final 15 the chance to showcase their might.
Although, as of now, Kuldeep is the only one who has the chance to make his way to the West Indies, Avesh and Samson will want to leave their mark and remind the management of what they bring to the table.
