<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-series/asia-cup-2023/" rel="nofollow">Asia Cup 2023</a>: Afghanistan Announces a Strong 17-Member Squad for the Asia Cup. Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead the team.?<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Afghanistan" rel="nofollow">Afghanistan </a>has named a 17-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. A few changes were made in the squad, which was playing against Pakistan in the ODI Series.



Karim Janat, Najibullah Zadran, and Sharafuddin Ashraf have been added to the Asia Cup 2023 Squad, whereas Players like Fareed Ahmad, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahidullah Kamal, and Wafadar Momand have been dropped from the squad, who were in the squad against Pakistan.



Karim Janat is a fast bowler who has played the last ODI in 2017 and will be returning to the team after six years, but he has plenty of experience in the ODI format. Najibullah Zadran is a middle-order batsman who returns from a knee injury, and Sharafuddin Ashraf is an all-rounder who can bat and bowl.



The remaining squad members are the same as those who played against Pakistan. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran are expected to open for Afghanistan in this tournament, whereas Riaz Hassan, Nabi, Shahidi, and Zadran will take charge of middle-order roles.

The spin attack will be led by Rashid Khan, Mohd. Nabi, Noor Ahmad, and Mujeeb ur Rahman, whereas Fazalhaq Farooqi and Karim Janat will lead the pace attack.



The Asia Cup 2023 will be played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka from August 30 to September 17. Afghanistan is placed in Group B alongside Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. They will be playing their first match of this tournament on September 5 against Sri Lanka at Gaddafi Stadium.



It will be challenging for Afghanistan to get back on the winning track as they have lost their last seven ODI matches, which shows the inconsistency in this format. Skipper Hasmatullah Shahidi needs to perform better for his team to win the matches and give tough competition to others.

Afghanistan Cricket Team, as well as Mumbai Indians, have faced a massive blow. Star spinner Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar has been ruled out of the ICC Champions 2025 as well as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to an injury. 
Allah Ghazanfar suffered a fracture in the L4 vertebra and will be out of action for four months. The spinner faced an injury while playing for the team during the Zimbabwe tour, and his injury surely would've disrupted the balance of both Afghanistan as well as the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. 
Allah Ghazanfar was picked by Mumbai Indians for Rs 4.80 crore in the IPL mega auction.  With the kind of talent and the skills that he brings with him, it's fair to say that he surely would've been in the playing XI for the franchise in the league right from the start. 
Allah Ghazanfar has played one Test and 11 ODIs for Afghanistan and has been decent for the team. The spinner also has played 19 T20 matches so far and has 30 wickets to his name. He also has been part of the Mumbai Indians in the ILT20 as he plays for MI Emirates in the league.

<h2>Afghanistan Cricket Board confirms about  Allah Ghazanfar's injury ahead of IPL 2025 </h2>
Afghanistan Cricket Board released an official statement confirming Allah Ghazanfar's injury. The Board confirmed that he will be under the observation of the medical team during his four-month recovery period. 
The statement read: “Afghanistan’s young spin-bowling sensation, AM Ghazanfar, has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy due to a fracture in the L4 vertebra, specifically in the left pars interarticularis. 
"He sustained the injury during Afghanistan’s recently held tour Zimbabwe, and will be sidelined for a minimum of four months and will remain under treatment during this period," ACB said in a release. 
With Allah Ghazanfar being ruled out, Mumbai Indians spin bowling will be heavily reliant on Mitchell Santner and Karn Sharma.

Australia captain Steve Smith has been having a great game as captain in the ongoing first ODI against Sri Lanka. The opening game of the two-match series between the teams is taking place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday (12th February) 
Steve Smith, who is known as one of the best fielders in the game, came up with another stunner in the ongoing game. The Australia skipper picked a blinder in the slips to send Sri Lanka batter Dunith Wellalage back into the hut and provide his team with a crucial breakthrough. 
During the last ball of the 26th over, Matthew Short bowled a delivery that got extra bounce on the length delivery outside off. Dunith Wellalage got forward to defend and the ball kissed the shoulder of the bat and went quickly towards the first slip, where Steve Smith was stationed. 
Steve Smith came with a magical effort as he took it with an outstretched right hand on the dive. His body momentum was going the other way, but he grabbed it with no fuss and got up, passing a smile to his teammates and ending Dunith Wellalage's innings on 30 runs. 
You can see the video at the end of the article: 
Steve Smith has been appointed as the captain of Australia for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well. This comes after both Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh were ruled out of the tournament due to the injuries and the batter was given responsibility to take the role. 
Steve Smith captained Australia in the Test series against Sri Lanka as well. Under his leadership, the team won the series by the margin of 2-0 and ended their long wait for a series win in Sri Lanka. He led from the front as he slammed centuries in both the games. 
Steve Smith also has been top-notch as a captain in the ongoing game against Sri Lanka. He has made brilliant changes as captain and also has been spot-on with his field placements. With the kind of performance they have put in, they look favourites to win the match.

India Cricket Team, on Tuesday (12th February), made massive changes to their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament with a back injury, which he faced during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and it no doubt will jolt India's chances. 
In place of Jasprit Bumrah,<a href="https://www.bcci.tv"> India</a> added Harshit Rana to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Kolkata Knight Riders pacer made his debut in the first game of the ongoing ODI series against England and so far looked decent in the first two games. 
Another massive change that India made in their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was to replace Yashasvi Jaiswal with Varun Chakravarthy. This came as a big surprise because Jaiswal was forced to make his debut in the first ODI against, and had Virat Kohli not got injured and Shreyas Iyer not scored runs, he would've played all three games. 
<h2>Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy have been added to the team on the recommendation of head coach Gautam Gambhir - Report</h2>
The inclusion of Varun Chakravarthy, who made his debut in the second ODI against England, also came as a surprise because India already had 4 spinners in the team and out of 15 players, the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will now feature 5 spinners.

With India making huge changes to their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, it saw them facing massive criticism. However, a report in PTI has mentioned both Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy have been added to the team on the recommendation of head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Both Harshit Rana and <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=varun+chakravarthy&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8">Varun Chakravarthy</a> are part of the Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise that was mentored by Gautam Gambhir. The head coach will now be hoping that his idea to add both players to the team pays off and India wins the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be kick-starting on 19th February, and India will be playing their first game on 20th February against Bangladesh.
India squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill (Vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohd. Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy
