THE Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has named a 15-man squad for their three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe which starts on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, with a number of their players facing visa complications.
The other two games will be played on March 19 and 20.
The ACB has reported that five other members of the team will be added to the squad after their visa issues are resolved and hence their selection is still pending.
Gulbadin Naib, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Hamid Hassan, Waqar Salamkheil, and Azmatullah Omarzai are the five players facing visa complications.
