Most probably Selectors will meet tomorrow for announcing the Indian team for Afghanistan T20I series. 

According to a PTI report, Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, may need to decide between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. "It will be on Jay (Shah) how much he can empower  Agarkar's committee. Right now, you have to accept both or give up on both. Under the condition of anonymity, a former national selector told the news agency, "The sensible thing would be to include both for Afghanistan and not make any promise for World T20 until the IPL performance is monitored."

It will be very interesting to see whom Selectors are selecting for this series because the team which will play this series might give an idea about the Indian Team which will play T20 World Cup 2024 in June. Although BCCI will performance of players in IPL 2024 also. It will be IPL 2024 Performance only which might give assurance to an player for T20 World Cup 2024 ticket to play.
