Rashid Khan has returned to the Afghanistan T20I side after recovering from an injury. This will be a great sign for them in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland. Afghanistan won the recently concluded ODI series by 2-0, and one game was rained out.

The first T20 match between the two teams will be held on March 15 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. Afghanistan will feel high on confidence with Rashid's return, but their batting order is a little inexperienced. Paul Stirling will lead the Irish team and will look to take them over the line. Ireland will fancy their chances as well.

AFG vs IRE: Pitch Report

The Sharjah surface is a flat deck that works more in favour of the batter. Bowling in the second inning is always tough because the dew makes it hard for the bowlers. After winning the toss, chasing is a good decision.

Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Ijaz Ahmadzai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Ishaq Rahimi (wk), Nangeyalia Kharote, Fareed Ahmad, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi
