Afghanistan announces 18-member squad for Sri Lanka ODIs

KABUL: Afghanistan on Saturday announced their 18-member squad for three ICC Cricket World Cup Super League ODIs against Sri Lanka, which will be played from November 25th to 30 in Kandy.

All-rounder Gulbadin Naib and the left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad have been added to the squad, who were not part of Afghanistan's last ODI series, against Zimbabwe in early June when they blanked the hosts 3-0.

The 18-year-old Noor hasn't yet made his ODI debut but has already built up quite the reputation in various T20 leagues around the world. He returned figures of 4 for 10 on his T20I debut -- joint-best debut figures in a T20I involving two Full-Member teams -- and was more recently part of Afghanistan's 2022 Asia Cup squad. IANS
