Afghanistan have some of the most exciting talents in limited-overs cricket currently. The likes of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Zahir Khan, Noor Ahmad, and plenty more are some of the most sought-after players in franchise T20 cricket leagues around the world.
With the right guidance and exposure at the highest level, their national team has the potential to be a tough team to beat.
