Team India Calls Prince Yadav for Afghanistan Series Amid Stellar IPL 2026 Performance The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the upcoming home series against Afghanistan, with a notable inclusion of young fast bowler Prince Yadav. The selection, led by former cricketer Ajit Agarkar, features a mix of experienced players and emerging talents, with Yadav making his debut in the ODI format. The series will include a single Test match in Guwahati starting June 6 and three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in Dharamshala, Lucknow, and Chennai from June 14. Yadav, 24, has emerged as a key figure in domestic cricket and the IPL 2026, earning his place in the national team after a string of impressive performances. The right-arm fast bowler, known for his ability to vary pace and deceive batsmen with his slower deliveries, has been a standout performer in both the Delhi Premier League and the Indian Premier League. His inclusion in the squad marks a significant milestone in his career, as he aims to prove his worth on the international stage. Yadav's rise to prominence began with his standout performances in the 2024 Delhi Premier League, where he took 13 wickets in 10 matches for the Delhi 6 team. This led to his selection in the Delhi White-ball team, where he continued to showcase his skills. His performances in the Ranji Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 further solidified his reputation, with a notable debut in T20 cricket against Uttar Pradesh. In his first match, Yadav dismissed experienced batsmen Nitish Rana and Samir Reddy, leaving a lasting impression on fans and selectors. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) signed Yadav for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL 2025 mega auction, recognizing his potential.#bcci #ajit_agarkar #prince_yadav #delhi_6 #lucky_noun_super_giants
