Tezzbuzz Desk- In the three-match ODI series being played between India and Afghanistan, Team India has performed brilliantly and won both the initial matches. With this victory, India has taken an unassailable lead in the series. Now the third and last match of the series will be played on June 20 at M. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Before this decisive match, the Indian team management has taken an important decision. Fast bowler Harshit Rana has been included in the Indian squad for the final ODI. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made its official announcement.
According to the information, Harshit Rana was out of the team due to injury for a long time, but now he has returned fully fit. He completed his rehab at the BCCI Center of Excellence in Bengaluru and joined Team India in Chennai after passing the fitness test.
Harshit Rana has not played any international match since January 2026. Due to injury, he could not even participate in IPL 2026. In such a situation, this match is being considered as a big opportunity for him to make a comeback.
It is worth noting that Harshit Rana has also been included in the T20 team for the upcoming Ireland tour and England tour. In such a situation, this ODI match can prove to be an important preparation opportunity for them.
Team India, led by Shubman Gill, has already won the series. Now in the third match, the team can focus on testing its bench strength and strengthening the bowling options.
Harshit Rana has played 14 ODI matches for India so far, in which he has taken 26 wickets. His return is expected to further strengthen the team’s bowling attack.
