Safi Ruled Out Of Afghanistan’s ODI Series Against Bangladesh, Sami Named Replacement
Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium: Afghanistan’s young right-arm fast bowler Mohammad Saleem Safi has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh due to a groin (adductor) overload, said the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) on Monday.
Safi has played one Test and T20I for Afghanistan, apart from two ODI appearances. In his absence, fast bowler Bilal Sami, who’s played one ODI so far, has been promoted from the reserves pool to Afghanistan’s main squad for the series to be played totally at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on October 8, 11 and 14 respectively.
“Team Physio believes that he is unlikely to be ready for the first ODI, which is scheduled for this Wednesday. Saleem will continue his rehabilitation at the ACB's High Performance Center until he fully recovers and can rejoin the national setup,” further said the ACB in its statement.
