Talking points from the Squad
1) Afghanistan have a solid batting order with Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top with Najibullah Zadran, Ibrahim Zadran in the middle order.
2) They have one of the best group of all rounders in the world as they have Gulbadin Naib, Karim Janat as the fast bowling all rounders and Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi as the spin bowling all rounders.
3) The fast bowling attack needs a little experience as they have Fazalhaq Farooqi but they are missing the services of Naveen Ul Haq who was a fast bowler.
4) The spinners as usual are the best part of the Afghanistan Squad as they have Mujib Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmed, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi as the spin attack.
