Afghanistan won 1st ODI with ease as SL conceded 22 wide but amazing batting by Asalanka 91

Mominul should have been given game time against WI A if he’s to be included here. Bizarre decision to omit him there. Other than that team looks good.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I am planning to go to the test if weather holds up. Should be good contest. Whats interesting is that we got only Taijul and Miraz in the squad as spinner. The pitch probably will have grass and all but the problem is it never remains the same. Maybe first or the day after then this going to flat out or break.

Afganistan are such a frustrating team. Gurbaz and zadran are a gun opening pair, and ramit shah is usually good to occupy the crease for 50 balls and make a few runs at 3, and their bowling is fantastic. They just desperately need a middle order thats not made of cardboard.

Mominul was included in 3rd test (Draw) vs Westindies A he scored 5 & 5 in 2 innings but yet BD included him in Test team because he scored 10 test century at Dhaka. He is not Good anymore.
Litton Das deserved for leader job.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

The Afghanistan Cricket Board rested Rashid Khan for the upcoming one-off Test against Bangladesh as they announced their 15-member Test squad that includes three uncapped players - pacer Ibrahim Abdulrahimzai and Nijat Masoud along with young legspinner Izharulhaq - for the game.

Afghanistan Squad for the one-off test against Bangladesh:

Hashmatullah Shahidi (C), Rahmat Shah (VC), Afsar Zazai (WK), Ikram Alikhail (WK), Ibrahim Zadran, Abdul Malik, Baheer Shah, Nasir Jamal, Karim Janat, Zahir Khan, Izharulhaq Naweed, Hamza Hotak, Ibrahim Abdulrahimzai, Yamin Ahmadzai and Nijat Masoud.

Zia ur Rahman Akbar, Noor Ali Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai and Sayed Ahmad Shirzad are part of the reserve set-up for the tour.

Agree. Mominul had his chances. Did not know he’s playing against WI A. Anyhow he should not be there in the main team. If Zakir opens, then Joy/Dipu can be slotted in middle order. I’d go something like this-

1. Tamim
2. Zakir
3. Shanto
4. Mushfiq
5. Dipu
6. Liton
7. Miraz
8. Taijul
9. Taskin
10. Ebadat
11, Mushfik

Zakir and Joy were both so **** against West Indies A. They all were. It was really alarming.

EDIT: Never mind, it appears Joy finally tonned up in the fourth innings of the last match.

Yeah Joy saved the match for us. But honestly I expected better from likes of Shadman and co since we were playing home. Disappointing series overall.

It was ****ing sobering! Did not expect that at home. Not sure I want to think about what it means for our talent stocks.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Afghanistan should include Karim Janat who is in prime form.
