The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) on Thursday announced Afghanistan’s 17-member squad. Opener batsman Ibrahim Zadran has been ruled out of the three-match series against South Africa due to a left ankle sprain, while right-arm offbreak bowler Mujeeb ur Rahman has not been selected in the squad due to a right phalanx sprain.

Afghanistan selectors have included Abdul Malik in the team to fill the void of opener Ibrahim Zadran. Abdul has an excellent record in domestic cricket. Darwish Rasooli, who is an upper-order batsman, has also been selected in the team. Rasooli has played seven matches for Afghanistan so far in which his record was not very good as he scored only 51 runs.

ACB CEO Naseeb Khan: “Hosting South Africa for the first time in our cricketing history is a huge milestone for Afghanistan Cricket.” “They are a top-quality side, and playing against them in an ODI series is something we are all excited about.

“Our team has shown great performances in ICC events over the past two-three years, and we are focused on making our team equally competitive in bilateral cricket,” he added.
