Shahidi To Lead Afghanistan In Champions Trophy As Mujeeb Misses Out
ACB Chairman Mirwais Ashraf: Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead Afghanistan in their maiden ICC Champions Trophy campaign as the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) named the 15-member squad on Sunday.
Prolific top-order batter, Ibrahim Zadran, who was away from action due to an ankle injury, has returned to the squad. He will accompany swashbuckling Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top of the batting followed by the likes of Rahmat Shah and skipper Shahidi, making up for a strong top-four pairing.
However, Mujeeb Ur Rahman misses out on the selection, as AM Ghazanfar, a similar mystery spinner, has made the cut for the mega event.
