    Afghanistan are gearing up to host Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, starting on Friday (November 25). All three matches will take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele. The series will mark the first assignment for both teams after the recently-concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Here is all you need to know about the series.

    Why does this story matter?

    • The ODI series is part of the Cricket World Cup Super League, which will determine the direct qualification for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
    • While Afghanistan are seventh in the Super League points table, SL are reeling at the 10th place.
    • The top eight teams will earn direct entry to the global event.
    • The World Cup Qualifier will determine the other two sides.

    SL and AFG's performance in World Cup Super League

    Though Afghanistan are at the seventh place, they have won 10 of their 12 games in the Super League. SL, on the other hand, have some work to do as they have just six wins in 18 games.

    Their campaigns in the T20 World Cup 2022

    SL started their campaign with a shocking defeat against Namibia in the qualifying round. However, they advanced to the Super 12 round by winning their remaining two games. They could only win two of their five games in the Super 12. While Afghanistan made a direct entry to Super 12, they could not win a single game. Two of their matches got washed out.

    Chamika Karunaratne to miss the series

    As per reports, all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne is set to be dropped for the series due to his poor form. Danushka Gunathilaka won't feature in the series either as SLC has banned him over a sexual assault case. While veteran all-rounder Dasun Shanaka will lead the team, Wanindu Hasaranga, Pathum Nissanka, and Kusal Mendis are the other players to watch out for.

    Gulbadin Naib returns to the ODI team

    Afghanistan have named uncapped wrist spinner Noor Ahmad in their squad. While Ahmad, 18, is yet to make his ODI debut, he made his T20I debut in June this year. Veteran all-rounder Gulbadin Naib has returned to the ODI team. While Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead the team, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the other key players.
