Shapoor recalled

Afghanistan have recalled fast bowler Shapoor Zadran for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland.

Zadran makes a comeback in national colours after almost one and a half years. The pacer last played a T20I in June 2018 against Bangladesh.

The 15-member squad announced by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) selection committee also consists of young all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. Opening batsman, Usman Ghani, who was not included in Afghanistan’s series against West Indies in October 2019, is back in the squad as well.

“We have selected the current best T20 players and hopefully will do better against Ireland,” said chief selector Andy Moles.
