India are back in Test cricket, and this time they face Afghanistan in a one-off red-ball contest at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. The match, scheduled from June 6 to June 10, marks only the second Test meeting between the two sides.
While no World Test Championship points are at stake, the game remains important for both teams. For India, it serves as valuable preparation ahead of challenging overseas assignments later this year. For Afghanistan, it is another opportunity to test themselves against one of the world's strongest Test sides.
