For Afghanistan's second diplomatic ODI set against SA, unlimited Bilal Sami, Darwish Rasooli, and Abdul Malik were also given the names.
Rashid Khan, who won the 17-member crew to experience South Africa in the future three-match set in the UAE, will get up in ODIs for the first time since the World Cup in October-November.
Even though they left out wristspinner Noor Ahmad, Afghanistan continues to skip the services of secret spin Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who is recovering from a tear in his right side. Chief selection Ahmad Shah Sulimankhil said offspinner AM Ghazanfar, who had made his ODI debut in March," did support" for Mujeeb against South Africa.
But Rashid's returning helps make up for Mujeeb and Noor's presence. Rashid was ruled out of Afghanistan's ongoing one-off Test against New Zealand, with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) saying he ca n't play red-ball cricket till he gets medical clearance due to an "ongoing injury".
Rashid had undergone again procedure after last year's World Cup, and was thus out of actions for four weeks, during which time he missed complete assignments against UAE, India and Sri Lanka, and ODIs against Ireland. In addition, Rashid had to resign from the SA20, PSL, and BBL before making his way back to motion in the Ireland T20Is in March.
Since his operation, Rashid has just played T20s, following up his return set with the IPL, T20 World Cup, MLC, the Hundred, and the Shpageeza Cricket League (SCL), Afghanistan's home T20 competitors. But after returning problems, Rashid also injured his quadriceps while playing for Trent Rockets in the Hundred, as a result missing the last week of the opposition, before facing up issues again at the SCL, where he played three activities.
However, Afghanistan have even called up unlimited medium-pace bowling Bilal Sami, and top-order pitchers Darwish Rasooli and Abdul Malik for the Wickets against South Africa. While Rasooli has played seven T20Is and Malik has played two Checks, Sami is yet to indicate Afghanistan in any style.
According to an ACB transfer, Malik was called up to act as support for the injured starting flour Ibrahim Zadran, whose knee tear second forced him to miss the one-off Check against New Zealand, and now rules him out of the Wickets against South Africa.
The three-match ODI series begins on September 18, with all games to be played in Sharjah. This will be the first time that Afghanistan and South Africa will be facing-off in a bilateral ODI series, having only met at the 2019 and 2023 World Cups before.
For Afghanistan, this series will serve as preparation for the Champions Trophy early next year, for which they qualified for the first time by finishing sixth in the league stage of the 2023 World Cup.
