The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup taking place in India and Sri Lanka this year.
The ACB called back Gulbadin Naib and Naveen Ul Haq for the event. Rashid Khan, the premium Afghan spinner, will lead the team in the World Cup.
The duo was not part of the Afghanistan team in their last assignment against Zimbabwe.
While they made a comeback, some players were left off the squad who were the parts of the recent matches.
Afghanistan will play in the Group D in the World Cup along with New Zealand, South Africa, The UAE, and Canada.
A total of 20 teams will participate in this year’s T20 World Cup in four groups, with each group consisting of five teams. The World Cup will be played across eight venues— five in India, and three in Sri Lanka.
