Afghan Cricket Team to Face Ireland

Ireland's cricket team arrived in India on Monday to face Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series that will kick-off on March 6 and run through March 10.

Afghanistan's team has already been training in India for nearly a month.

There are a number of younger players in the T20I squad, including Qais Ahmad, the 19-year-old legspinner, who participated in the Big Bash League.

Also, Azmatullah Omarzai was part of the Under-19 team that made the semi-finals a couple of years ago.

The 19-year-old seam-bowling allrounder has not played any T20 cricket since October 2018, but he has been moving up the ranks in regional 50-over cricket, according to a story on the ICC website.

The Afghanistan T20I squad:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Hazratullah Zazai, Karim Janat, Najib Zadran, Asghar Afghan (capt), Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Naveen ul Haq, Shapoor Zadran, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Qais Ahmad, Azmatullah Omarzai, Samiullah Shinwari, Usman Ghani.
