Rahman Ruled Out Of T20 World Cup; Hazratullah Joins Afghanistan Squad

The International Cricket Council: Afghanistan star spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20 World Cup due to a recurrence of the finger injury that sidelined him from IPL 2024.

The injury has prompted Afghanistan to call up Hazratullah Zazai, an explosive opening batter, as Mujeeb's replacement. The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the change on Friday afternoon, just hours after Afghanistan's convincing victory over Papua New Guinea.

The ICC's event technical committee approved Zazai's inclusion in the squad, marking a strategic shift in the team's composition.
