there is one more guy leftie sadiq atal who also looks very good and they have bunch of wrist spinners including 2 chinamen coming up so Afghanistan LOI side wud be a force in next 10 yrs ....just need some fast bowlers 

[Vickydev]

Afghans keep churning out quality leggies. 

[Forever Indian]

Munaf Patel still playing 

[SK_IH]

 Kusal Perera deserves an IPL stint, will be a great addition in any team.

[Serpico]

It is interesting that both the owner and the captain of Kandy Tuskers have killed people by drunk driving(and got away with it). They could have named the team Kandy Killers

Embarassing to watch Irfan bowl. Surely, someone in SL domestic cannot be worse than him. 

[Stutter]

damn...already injured! 

Oh Irfan!

Russell couldn’t give a toss about his national T20i team but makes himself available for this travesty. Money chasing ahole.
