India’s Shubman Gill to miss Afghanistan match

Shubman Gill will miss India’s World Cup 2023 meeting with Afghanistan, the country’s cricket board (BCCI) said on Monday, as the in-form opener continues his recovery from dengue fever. Shubman Gill is the leading run-scorer in one-day internationals this year and has forged a formidable opening partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma, but the 24-year-old missed the hosts’ six-wicket victory over Australia on Sunday.
