Although Afghanistan has named Rashid Khan in their squad for the IND vs AFG T20 series, the chances of him actually playing are very bleak. Rashid had a lower back surgery a couple of months ago and is still recovering from it.
With the chances of him missing out, young wicketkeeper batter Ibrahim Zadran has been named as the stand-in skipper for the three-match series.
