Rashid, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Ikram Alikhil Included In Afghanistan Squad For T20Is Against India
Mujeeb Ur Rahman: Rashid Khan, Afghanistan’s regular T20I captain, along with spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman and wicketkeeper-batter Ikram Alikhil have been included in the squad for the upcoming three-match series against India.
Interestingly, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said in its statement that Rashid, the leg-spin all-rounder, might not feature in any game against India as he recovers from the back surgery he underwent recently. Rashid was with the Afghanistan team in their recent T20I series against the UAE as a reserve player.
It also means that opener Ibrahim Zadran, who led Afghanistan to a 2-1 series victory against the UAE in Sharjah, will continue to lead the team in the T20I series against India. Alikhil, who was part of the reserves against the UAE, has been promoted to the main squad as the backup wicket-keeper batter and takes the place of fellow keeper Mohammad Ishaq.
