Dubai, Oct 31 (Ians) Veteran batter Gulbadin Naib has replaced injured opener Hazratullah Zazai in the Afghanistan squad at the Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, the International Cricket Council (Icc) confirmed on Monday.
Hard-hitting opener Zazai, who holds the record for the second-highest score in the history of men’s T20I cricket for his brilliant 162 not out against Ireland in Dehradun in 2019, has been battling an abdominal and kidney concern and has been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.
Naib, who is a travelling reserve in Australia and was named as Zazai’s replacement, will get a chance to play his first T20I in almost a year, later this tournament.
“The Event Technical Committee of the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 has approved Gulbadin Naib as a replacement for Hazratullah Zazai in the Afghanistan squad,” the Icc said in a statement.

Melbourne, Aug 24 (Ians) Charismatic Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who is in the ‘Platinum Category’ for the Big Bash League (Bbl) Player Draft on August 28, has raised the pitch for his country’s batters to be given a chance to play in the lucrative Australian domestic T20 tournament, saying he would be “happy” if they are provided the opportunity.
Afghanistan spinners such as Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi may be household names but their batters hardly figure in the several domestic T20 leagues across the world, and Rashid Khan says they need to be given an opportunity as there are several young power-hitters waiting to get noticed.
An army of Afghanistan cricketers is enrolled for the Bbl Draft with the likes of Rashid Khan, Qais Ahmad, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Zahir Khan eligible for retention by various franchises, while several others, including Noor Ahmad, Ijaz Ahmadzai,...
