ICC World Cup 2023 : It’s Taliban Administration In Afghanistan But Still…..

Since 2015 Afghanistan are playing ODI World Cup cricket and out of two editions of the ODI world cup (2019 being the other time they featured in the men’s ODI WC) they failed to put up any impressive performances. However, one can’t discount the Afghans as they are capable of putting up spirited performances against any team be it a T20 match or 50 over ODIs.

Unlike Bangladesh, where it only revolves around Shaqib Al-Hasan, Afghanistan doesn’t revolve around any such players. They believe in putting up team efforts.  Although star all-rounder Rashid Khan is there but still the team isn’t entirely dependable on him.

Hashmatullah Shahidi is going to lead the Afghans. A team which saw the reurning of Naveen-ul-Haq and Azmatullah Omarzai. Naveen last played for the national side way back in 2021 while Omarzai making a comeback post injuries.

The spin department will be taken care of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and chinaman  Noor Ahmad while young batters Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran will be leading the batting department. Gurbaz-Zadran duo has already started to shatter ODI batting records lately. Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen-ul-Haq and Abdul Rahman are likely to share the responsibilities of the pace department.

This time, cricket lovers are expecting something special from the Afghans.
