There is a young feel to the Afghanistan squad, especially among the batters. Darwish Rasooli, Riaz Hassan and Sediqullah Atal are all aged under 25 years old, as are keepers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ikram Alikhil. The other new faces in the squad are bowlers Bilal Sami and Naveed Zadran, with Allah Ghazanfar also relatively new on the international circuit.
Bangladesh will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, despite rumours last month that he wished to relinquish the captaincy. Their squad is largely along expected lines, with young fast bowler Nahid Rana in line for a potential ODI debut after impressing in Test cricket.
