Afghanistan are set to kick off their journey in the ICC T20 World Cup with a match against Uganda on June 4. The 20-over contest will be hosted at the Providence Stadium in Guyana at 6 AM IST on Tuesday. All-rounder Rashid Khan has been appointed as the captain of the Afghanistan side. The Asian giants have picked a strong squad featuring both experienced cricketers and talented youngsters.
Besides Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Nangyal Kharoti and Mohammad Nabi make up the spin department. Nangyal Kharoti, who played his first international match against Ireland in March, has secured a place in the 15-member squad. The 20-year-old picked five wickets in his debut series.
Meanwhile, Uganda will make their T20 World Cup debut this year, featuring in the ninth edition of the showpiece tournament. The African side will be led by Brian Masaba, with Riazat Ali Shah serving as his deputy.
Uganda will bank on the experience of Frank Nsubuga, who has been playing international cricket for nearly a decade. He represented the country in the 1997 ICC Trophy as a 17-year-old. Spin-bowling all-rounder Alpesh Ramjani, who fetched 55 wickets in T20Is last year, will look to replicate his sublime form in the T20 World Cup.
