India will prepare for the final Twenty20 international match prior to the T20 World Cup in June of this year after their second and final Test match against South Africa, which gets underway in Cape Town on Wednesday. The Men in Blue will play Afghanistan in a three-match series between January 11 and January 17. The Men in Blue defeated Australia 4-1 at home in a T20I series in November before being held to a 1-1 draw against the Proteas in December. Hence, the selection committee headed by Ajit Agarkar will have a difficult job ahead of them when choosing the team for the crucial series. The key question still stands, though: will Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play in the T20 World Cup and return to the shorter format against Afghanistan?
