Ajay Jadeja will bring his abundance of expertise to the Afghanistan team during the course of his international cricket career, which lasted from 1992 to 2000 and included 15 Test matches and 196 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) as a representative of India. His extensive cricketing experience and knowledge are expected to be crucial in improving Afghanistan’s performance on the international scene.

Afghanistan’s progress in cricket has been spectacular, and they have participated in prestigious events like the ICC World Cup. Even though they have had trouble winning games against elite opposition, their most recent performances have been encouraging. Afghan fans are anticipating a competitive performance in the 2018 World Cup with star players like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi in the starting lineup.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, an explosive opener, and Ibrahim Zadran, a stylish batsman, will be greatly relied upon by the batting team. Hashmatullah Shahidi, the captain, and Rahmat Shah will support the middle order, while Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, and Rashid Khan will handle the finishing chores.
Afghanistan has a strong fast bowling pair in Naveen Ul Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Farooqi is a powerful opponent since he can swing the ball at speeds greater than 140 km/h. Naveen is renowned for his deceiving slower deliveries and cunning variations, which may be especially effective in the death overs. The world-famous spin bowlers Rashid and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be principally responsible for this task, with Nabi offering supplementary support.
At the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, Afghanistan’s ODI World Cup campaign gets underway on October 7 against Bangladesh.
