Opener sediqullah atal

Emerging Teams Asia Cup T20: Opener Sediqullah Atal and left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad have been included in the 19-man squad, as Afghanistan announced two key additions to their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, set to take place in Sharjah in November.

Sediqullah Atal, a rising talent with six T20I caps, has been in excellent form lately. He delivered standout performances at the Emerging Teams Asia Cup T20 tournament, notching up scores of 52, 95 not out, and 83. Atal’s inclusion aims to strengthen Afghanistan’s top-order batting, especially in the absence of Ibrahim Zadran, who is still recovering from ankle surgery.
