The Afghanistan board has named a 19-member squad for the series against India. Mujeeb, who was at loggerheads with ACB, has been included in the team. Meanwhile, regular T20I captain Rashid Khan’s participation is under threat.
“Afghanistan Cricket Boardโs Selection Committee named a 19-member Afghanistan National Squad for the three-match T20I Series against India starting this Thursday, January 11 in Mohali, India,” ACB wrote in a press release.
“Rashid Khan, Afghanistanโs regular T20I Captain, has been included in the squad but might not feature in any game as he recovers from the back surgery he recently underwent. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Zadran, who led Afghanistan to a 2-1 series victory against the UAE in Sharjah, will continue to lead Afghanistan against India as well,” the board added.
