Afghanistan and Bangladesh will renew their rivalry in the three-match ODI series starting on November 6. These three matches will kickstart their preparations for the Champions Trophy which is scheduled to be played in Pakistan next year. For the unversed, Afghanistan are playing in the said ICC event for the first time in their cricketing history.
Hashmatullah Shahidi continues to be the captain of the ODI team even as Afghanistan have filled their squad with talented spin bowlers. Rashid Khan leads the attack for them while the likes of Mohammad Nabi, Noor Ahmad and Nageyalia Kharote will assist him. Having beaten Bangladesh before, Afghanistan will be confident of putting up a good show in the series.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be without Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das who are missing this series for different reasons. Probably for the same reason, Najmul Hossain Shanto has agreed to lead for one more series after offering his resignation post the two-match Test series against South Africa at home.
