AFG VS NZ : Afghanistan Named Squad For Maiden Test
Afghanistan has announced their squad for the one-off Test against New Zealand, which begins on Monday in Greater Noida. The team will be captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi, with key players like Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, and Azmatullah Omarzai included. Notably absent are star players Rashid Khan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Karim Janat. Rashid Khan, who had a back operation, has been advised to avoid long-format cricket for a year. All-rounder Gulbadin Naib, who was in the preliminary squad, also missed the final cut.
Shahidi has played eight Test matches for Afghanistan, three of which were as captain. The squad is focused on making a strong impact against New Zealand, with key bowling talents like Qais Ahmad and Zahir Khan included.
