Indian wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha is a major doubt for the one-off Test match against Afghanistan, scheduled to begin on June 14 in Bengaluru.

Saha injured his right thumb while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL Qualifier 2 against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 25.

"To determine the future course of injury management, Mr Saha will see a specialist and the BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress," said the BCCI in a statement.

If Saha is unable to regain full fitness, Parthiv Patel or Dinesh Karthik could replace him for Afghanistan's inaugural Test.
