Jaiswal was brought in as a replacement for the injured <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/967-virat-kohli-playerprofile\" title=\"Virat Kohli\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Virat Kohli<\/a> for the series against Afghanistan, but has been left out once again with Kohli expected to return in England. South Africa great <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/players\/699-ab-de-villiers-playerprofile\" title=\"AB de Villiers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AB de Villiers<\/a> expressed sympathy towards Jaiswal, but also stated that there should be &#8220;no complaints&#8221; over Kohli coming back into the side.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his official YouTube channel, De Villiers reflected on India&#8217;s squad for the ODI series against England.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Virat Kohli (is) back. Little bit of a tough one on Jaiswal, who was back in Virat&#8217;s place, scoring the hundred against Afghanistan, and now he&#8217;s got to make way,&#8221; De Villiers said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No complaints there but it is just a little bit harsh on players sometimes when your King comes back, when the main players come back, there is a process they are looking at. So, truly makes sense for Virat to step in there and make sure he maintains the kind of form he showed in the IPL,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli did not feature in India&#8217;s ODI squad against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in the IPL 2026 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT).<\/p>\n<p>While he has been named in India&#8217;s squad for the three-match ODI series against England, his involvement is still not guaranteed. It is subject to a fitness clearance from the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE).<\/p>\n<p>Should Kohli, 37, fail to pass the fitness test, it could see Jaiswal find a spot in the squad once again.<\/p>\n<p>Jaiswal ended the ODI series against Afghanistan on a high, slamming a spectacular unbeaten 110 off just 86 balls to guide Team India to a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n            Featured Video Of The Day&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n            IPL 2026 News | RCB Outplay CSK For 2nd Win On Trot, Ruturaj Gaikwad &amp; Co Suffer 3rd Loss&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p>Topics mentioned in this article <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; Despite scoring two centuries in his last three ODIs, Yashasvi Jaiswal finds himself out of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658916,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[169311,1721,157385,221190,308,101,56,54,55,15624,189398],"class_list":["post-658915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-abraham-benjamin-de-villiers","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-ndtv-sports","tag-england-vs-india-2026","tag-india","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-virat-kohli","tag-yashasvi-bhupendra-kumar-jaiswal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
