without rashid

India T20Is: Star Afghanistan spinner Rashid has been ruled out of the three-match T20I series against India, starting on January 11, skipper Ibrahim Zadran said.

Rashid underwent a minor lower-back surgery in the UK on November 24 and has been out of action since then.

"He is not totally fit, but is travelling with the team. We hope that he gets fit as soon as we expect him to. We will miss him in the series,” Zadran said in pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
