    Information

    A look at Afghanistan's World Cup squad

    Afghanistan squad: Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hassan, Rahmat Shah, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Alikhil, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Abdul Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq. Reserve Players: Gulbadin Naib, Sharafudin Ashraf, Farid Ahmad Malik.

    Naveen

    Joy for Naveen; Gulbadin made to wait

    Naveen, who last played a List A game in 2021, comes back into the squad.

    Naveen has played only seven ODIs to date, taking 14 wickets at an average of 25.42.

    Meanwhile, Naib, who took a four-wicket haul against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup, found himself out of the squad.

    He is named as a reserve player list.

    Afghans

    Rashid Khan the focus as Afghanistan out to showcase potential

    Leading wicket-taker for Afghanistan in ODIs, Rashid Khan, is the star attraction.

    He has 172 scalps for the Afghans at 19.53. In the 2019 World Cup, Rashid managed six wickets.

    Senior figure Mohammad Nabi is Afghanistan's second-highest wicket-taker in the ICC World Cup (13).

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who is closing in on 1,000 ODI runs, remains a vital cog in their batting unit.
