Young bowlers Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav included in the squad as opportunity rings for international debut.

India vs Afghanistan Dharamshala Live Weather Updates
Hello and Welcome to the Live Weather coverage for the 1st ODI between India and Afghanistan, slated to be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. A massive rain alert in this Himachal Pradesh town today and the weather gods have lived up to the predictions.
India are without Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya due to injuries, giving opportunities to returning players like Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Afghanistan will lean heavily on Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s firepower and the magic of Rashid Khan. The HPCA pitch usually offers good batting conditions with assistance for both pacers early and spinners in the middle overs.
Dharamshala Weather Forecast for June 13
- Temperature: Daytime highs 24-28°C, dropping to 16-19°C in the evening.
- Rain Probability: 70-90% chance of isolated thunderstorms or moderate showers, especially post-afternoon.
- Precipitation: Possible 2.3-6 mm rainfall.
- Conditions: Partly to mostly cloudy with high humidity (60-80%).
Will Rain Play Spoilsport?
Rain is a serious concern as June marks the onset of the monsoon in Himachal Pradesh. Dharamshala has witnessed weather interruptions in past limited-overs matches. However, the ground boasts excellent drainage, and the BCCI can use the DLS method or a reserve day if necessary.
On Saturday, as per Accuweather, there is a significant chance of rain as well. There is around 90 per cent prediction of rain in Dharamshala and the rain prediction increases after 2 PM on the day. Hence we can expect a rain-marred affair only, and the overs may well be curtailed.
While short, intense showers are common in the region, a full 50-over contest remains possible if the rain stays intermittent. Fans should be prepared for possible delays or a shortened game.
IND vs AFG Predicted Playing XI
India: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (vc), KL Rahul (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harsh Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Nangeyalia Kharoti, AM Ghazanfar, Bilal Sami, Fareed Ahmad.
