Afghanistan’s opening batsman, Ibrahim Zadran, has sustained an ankle injury during a practice session, raising concerns about his availability for the historic one-off Test against New Zealand. This news comes as a blow to the Afghan team, who are already without star spinner Rashid Khan. Persistent rain has also disrupted preparations for the match.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran of Afghanistan created history by becoming only the second pair to achieve three 100-run partnerships in T20 World Cups, surpassing even the prolific Pakistani duo of Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Their feat, achieved in the Super 8 clash against Australia, makes them the second most prolific opening pair in T20 World Cup history.
