They have two domestic t20 leagues we have won every 4 years like it's the Olympics
Which explains why even though they have played 3 more than us, they are so far ahead. I was watching Patriot Act. Did not realise Afghanistan cricket was getting backing from BCCI. It would explain why they have money to set up domestic comps.
Either way. ZC has the money to set up comps, especially T20 ones. Really shouldn't be hard to even set up a school one. Does anyone know if Stragglers still happens?
Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Gulbadin Naib wait on 'visa issue' ahead of T20I series
Hamid Hassan, Waqar Salamkheil and Azmatullah Omarzai are also yet to join Afghanistan's squad
Five Afghanistan players including mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman, fast bowler Hamid Hassan and allrounder Gulbadin Naib await the resolution of a "visa issue", according to an ACB release, before they can join their team-mates for the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe in the UAE. The two other players on the wait list are left-arm wristspinner Waqar Salamkheil and the allrounder Azmatullah Omarzai.
A 15-member squad, led by Asghar Afghan, is already in the UAE ahead of the series, which begins on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi. A number of these players were involved in the two-match Test series, which ended on Sunday, with the teams winning one Test apiece.
Afghanistan squad for T20I series: Asghar Afghan (capt), Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Afsar Zazai (wk), Usman Ghani, Ibrahim Zadran, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Amir Hamza, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Farid Malik.
Players awaiting visas: Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Hamid Hassan, Gulbadin Naib, Waqar Salamkheil, Azmatullah Omarzai.
Looks like this is our best chance of a win, also wtf Hamid Hassan is still playing???
I feel like this lineup, and even in general, we don't really have a power hitter. I'd say Elton was probably our last genuine power hitter, but we haven't really produced someone who could come out and hit 20+ in an over.
