I mentioned Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran years back before they were known to the world stage. I will say batting is their weaker suit Outside the Xi vs Pakistan, Najibullah Zadran is a household name in T20, Karim Janat plays leagues around the world as a serviceable all-rounder and there is the powerful hasmatullah Shahidi but he is bit out of shape. There are a few other batsmen I am tracking but will only reveal after full due diligence on my part. As far as spinners, they have a wealth of talent: Outside Mujeeb, Rashid, Nabi and Noor, they have Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Waqar Samalkehil who would all be 1st choice spinners for Pakistan Edited October 23, 2023 by IndiaWC8311 nevada 1

But Fazalhaq Farooqi has developed nicely ever since being in CSK as net bowler which ahs now allowed him to come to the international stage Lord 1
R!TTER Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Afghans will soon land where Bangers have been at for over a decade now! There's a glass ceiling which you need to break to enter the big league - Eng/Oz/WI (formerly) then India & arguably Pak. I see the 83 WC win as breaking that glass ceiling & in similar vein the 2001 test series win vs Oz. For Oz itself it was the 87 WC, then the 95(96?) series win in WI away. For WI it was 75 WC & then arguably 76 Eng tour - so basically they need a breakthrough series win, not just upsets against major powerhouses! Now of course such test series wins are probably never going to come in our lifetimes but major wins in WT20 or the WC are probably similar level of achievements for modern viewers. They can come only through a combination of one in a gen brilliant individuals & a system that churns out such potential greats over at least a decade or so

Now..they can push for atleast 1 odi series in 2 months atleast against teams like srilanka, bangla, zim, WI ... Playing regularly in different conditions is essential gradual growth

Serpico Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 34 minutes ago, gakgupta said: What is the percentage population of pastuns?? Slightly less than half of the total. Its hard to do precise calculation since lot of pashtuns regularly move between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The durand line doesn't exist for them
