Less than 24 hours after Ishan Kishan smashed a 47-ball 70 to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad to a dominant five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings and pave their way into the Playoffs, the swashbuckling India batter was rewarded with a call-up to the ODI squad for the three-match series against Afghanistan. Interestingly, Kishan played his last ODI against Afghanistan in October 2023.

The home assignments against Afghanistan include a one-off Test in Mullanpur starting June 6, followed by three ODIs in Dharamsala (June 14), Lucknow (June 17), and Chennai (June 20).
