T20 Emerging Asia Cup: Top-order batter Zubaid Akbari earned his maiden call-up to Afghanistan's T20I squad while spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman made his return for the upcoming white-ball tour of Zimbabwe

Akbari put on some stellar performances in the domestic season and was also a major contributor to Afghanistan's glory at the Emerging Asia Cup.

Mujeeb was sidelined since June by a right phalanx (hand) sprain, and only returned to competitive cricket for the first time in five months at the Abu Dhabi T10 on November 21. The off-spinner has been added to the side for both the T20I and ODI series during the Zimbabwe tour.
