A major setback has hit Afghanistan ahead of the one-off Test starting on June 6 in Mullanpur. Star leg-spinner Rashid Khan has been ruled out due to a recurring back injury. His absence is expected to weaken Afghanistan’s bowling attack significantly. In his place, the team will be led by Hashmatullah Shahidi. The squad still features key players such as Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Rahmat Shah. Meanwhile, India, led by young captain Shubman Gill, will start as favorites. With challenging weather conditions and a strong Indian side to face, Afghanistan has a tough task ahead in this much-anticipated Test match.
