Rising Star Ghazanfar Earns Call-Up to Pakistan ODI Squad

 

Pakistan has handed a well-deserved maiden call-up to young spinner Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar for their upcoming ODI series against Ireland. Ghazanfar impressed during the recent U19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa, catching the eye with his mystery spin.

This selection comes at a time when Pakitan s spin department is facing some injury concerns. With established stars Rashid Khan recovering from back surgery and Mujeeb Ur Rahman out with a finger sprain, the door opened for fresh talent. Ghazanfar's performances at the U19 level have convinced the selectors that he's ready to step up to the challenge.

Ghazanfar joins another young spinner, Nangyal Kharoti, in the squad. This signals Afghanistan's intent to groom future stars and potentially find replacements for the experienced but injury-prone Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

The three-match ODI series against Ireland begins on March 7th. It will be a crucial opportunity for Ghazanfar to showcase his skills on the international stage and potentially cement his place in the Afghan ODI setup for the future. Cricket fans will be eager to see how this exciting young talent performs at the senior level.
