[CricAddict]

Good to see UAE pinch a win here. The gap between associates and test nations have considerably closed now. Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe represent a perfect gateway there as they are 3 teams that can both win against any test nation and also lose against any associate.

Next ICC meeting Agenda will be on all 3 country you mention above regarding inspire them play more test or remove their test status. I hope everything positive for them.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Pak vs Afg series after PSL final, I think no need to play ODI koz both pak and Afg already Qualified for World Cup 2023 in india.

Afghanistan Agreey to play at Neutral venue, they wants to completes series 3 days before IPL 2023 starts.

Pakistan will share 50% of the revenue from the T20I series equally. And they will jointly outsource the production,

Pakistan (Playing XI): Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, Abdullah Shafique, Tayyab Tahir, Shadab Khan(c), Azam Khan(w), Faheem Ashraf, Imad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Zaman Khan, Ihsanullah

Two neighbours have taken a short flight across the Gulf of Oman to face each other off in a bite-sized 3-match T20I series in Sharjah. Technically, Afghanistan are acting hosts and this will be the first time in over a month that the Afghan fans will get to see their players don national colours. For Pakistan, it’s about testing the waters. Fresh off the PSL, senior players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have been rested while three young bowlers, Zaman Khan, Ihsanullah and Tayyab Tahir, all of who’ve impressed recently, have been handed an opportunity. Shadab Khan finds himself leading a mixed bag of experienced players who’ve been on the fringes and rising stars looking to make a mark. Conditions at Sharjah will be very familiar to both teams and the setting couldn’t be much better for what promises to be a cracking series. Expect a packed house, some enthralling cricket and an all-round entertaining evening. Toss and playing XIs coming your way very shortly.

Squads:

Afghanistan Squad: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Usman Ghani, Afsar Zazai(w), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan(c), Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Karim Janat, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Azmatullah Omarzai, Noor Ahmad, Sediqullah Atal
