On Wednesday, August 27, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced the staff of the Afghanistan National Clicet team for the next T20i Tri-Series in the United Arab Emirates.
The Afghanistan Cricket National Team must block the horns with the Pakistan Cricket National Team and the National Cricket team of the Arab Emirates united in a T20i Tri-Series ahead of the 2025 Asia Cup.
The Asia Cup will be played from September 9 to 28 at the United Arab Emirates, and before that, the Afghans will gain great preparation when they close their horns with the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan in T20I games.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The tri-series will begin with the game between Afghanistan and Pakistan on August 29. The United Arab Emirates and Pakistan will then be held on August 30 before the action moves to September 1, 2, 4 and 5 (Afghanistan in front of the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan against Pakistan, Pakistan vs UAE and Afghanistan vs UAE). All games in the series will be played in Sharjah, including the final of September 7.
In the meantime, the ACB selection committee has named almost identical teams for Tri-Series and Asia Cup 2025, with only a small change.
The star Pealer Naveen-Ul-Haq has not been named in the T20i template for the tri-series, despite being chosen by the Asia Cup 2025 and has been replaced by Abdollah Ahmadzai, who is one of the standbys for the Marquee tournament.
In the meantime, Ibrahim Zadran will come up with the Afghan T20i playing XI for the first time since the T20 World Cup of the ICC T20 2024. In addition, the spinner Am Ghazanfar is online to debut in T20I.
Rashid Khan will lead an Afghanistan Cricket National Team with stars, which also consists of star players such as Rahmamullah Gurbaz, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat and Azmatullah Omarzai.
Rashid Khan (CAPT), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Ibrahim Zadran, Darwish Rasoololi, Sediqullah Atal, Azmatullah Omarzai Ahmad, went out to Ahmad, Abdollah Ahmadzai, Fazalhaq Farooqi
