Rashid Khan rested for one-off Test, Naib out of T20Is as Afghanistan announce squads for Zimbabwe tour

Afghanistan T20 skipper and one of their leading white-ball bowlers, Rashid Khan, will miss the only Test against Zimbabwe next week as the selectors announced a 15-man squad for the one-off red-ball clash in Harare. The ACB statement mentioned that Rashid has been rested ahead of the T20I series since the leg-spinner has been on tour consistently since the tri-series, followed by Asia Cup and the Bangladesh series. Led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, the Test side features a few youngsters, who have been rewarded for their performances in domestic red-ball cricket.
