ODI series will be played between the two teams in UAE
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has today announced a 19-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh on October 22. Let us tell you that spin bowler Noor Ahmed has returned to this team, who could not take part in the three-match ODI series against South Africa.
However, now he will be seen playing for the Afghan team in the ODI series starting on November 6 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE. But veteran top order batsman Ibrahim Zadran has not been included in this team, because he has still not fully recovered from the ankle injury.
In place of Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, who is performing brilliantly for the Afghan team in the ongoing Emerging T20 Asia Cup, has been included in the team. Apart from this, spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has also not been included in the team due to sprain in his right leg.
At the time of the team announcement, ACB CEO Naseeb Khan said – Calendar year 2024 has been action-packed and very successful for ACB and the Afghan Atlanta lineup, especially in white-ball cricket. ODI cricket has been a top priority for us as it helps us prepare the team for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.
