India will play Afghanistan in a one-off Test match starting on Saturday at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. Rishabh Pant was removed from the Test vice-captaincy by the BCCI selection committee, who appointed KL Rahul in the role. In order to manage his workload in the lead-up to the upcoming England tour, Jasprit Bumrah has also been rested from the whole Afghanistan tour, including the Test and the three-match ODI series that follows.
After hosting South Africa in a two-match series in November 2025, this will be India’s first Test match. That series was a 2-0 loss for India. Additionally, this will just be the second Test match between Afghanistan and India. The last Test match between the two teams took place in Bengaluru in June 2018, and the hosts won by an innings and 262 runs in just two days.
