IND vs AFG: Rashid Khan, Afghanistan's spin wizard, has made a return to the squad for the upcoming T20I series against India, which will kickstart on January 11 in Mohali. However, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over his availability as he continues to recover from back surgery.

In Khan's absence, Ibrahim Zadran will lead the Afghan team who recently led Afghanistan to a 2-1 T20I series victory over the UAE. Ikram Alikhil was part of the reserves for the UAE series and is making a comeback as the wicketkeeper. Another notable inclusion is Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who missed the UAE T20Is. The young spinner will be eager to prove his mettle against a formidable Indian batting line-up.

Here's the complete Afghanistan squad for the T20I series:

Squad: Ibrahim Zadran (C), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Ikram Alikhil (WK), Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmat Shah, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Azmaullah Omarzai, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazal Haq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmad, Naveen Ul Haq, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Saleem, Qais Ahmad, Gulbadin Naib and Rashid Khan.
