Senior all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has been recalled to Afghanistan's T20 squad as the country's cricket board on Tuesday named 17 players for the upcoming three-match home series against Pakistan, starting from March 24 in Sharjah.
Rashid Khan will lead a side that has some familiar names including Nabi, who had last played for Afghanistan in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in November last year, just after he had stepped down as the T20I captain following the T20 World Cup.
Uncapped opening batter Sediqullah Atal was also named in the squad and could be a potential debutant in the series. However, senior batters Rahmat Shah and Hazratullah Zazai have been dropped. Nijat Masoud and Zahir Khan, who were part of the squad during the UAE tour last month, have been kept as reserves.
