's workload within the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, discussions are underway regarding who will replace Mohammed Siraj if he is removed, with Aqib Nabi being considered a possible replacement.

According to a report in the Times of India, medical staff are continuously monitoring Siraj's condition. Siraj has already arrived in Chandigarh, but his participation in the match will depend on assessments over the next two days.

It's worth noting that this veteran bowler played for the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League for a long time. He played all the matches, including the final on May 31st. The Titans lost the final to the Royal Challengers Bangalore by five wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. There was discussion about resting Siraj for the one-off Test against Afghanistan, but a final decision has not yet been made, with the decision-making officials not wanting to field a completely inexperienced bowling attack. However, if the selectors decide to rest Siraj at the last minute, Gurnur Brar's debut is almost certain, and Nabi will be included in the team.

Nabi led Jammu and Kashmir to the Ranji Trophy title by taking 60 wickets. Nabi has joined the Indian team as one of six net bowlers to help the team prepare for the Test match. In addition to Nabi, fast bowlers Gurjapneet Singh and Prince Yadav, and spinners Saransh Jain, Zeeshan Ansari, and Shivang Kumar have also been asked to bowl in the nets.

The match between India and Afghanistan will be played at the New Punjab Cricket Association International Stadium in New Chandigarh. This will be followed by a three-match ODI series in Dharamsala, Lucknow , and Chennai.
