Kabul: Afghanistan Cricket team has recalled fast bowler Shapoor Zadran for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland. Zadran makes a comeback in national colors after almost one and a half years. The pacer last played a T20I in June 2018 against Bangladesh.
"We have selected the current best T20 players and hopefully will do better against Ireland," said chief selector Andy Moles.
Hazrat Zazai's fitness has improved dramatically, Moles added, praising the all-rounder abilities of Azmatullah Omerzai and leg spinner Qais Ahmad, who has returned from a successful BBL, as a future star which can't be wasted.
Nineteen-year-old Ahmad, who recently had a stint in the Big Bash League (BBL) for Hobart Hurricanes, finds a spot as well, having played only a solitary Test match for Afghanistan so far.
Afghanistan will face Ireland in a three-match T20I series which will be played on March 6, 8 and 10 at the Greater Noida Ground.
The last time when both sides played a T20I series, Afghanistan whitewashed Ireland 3-0 in Dehradun.
