Kabul, Feb 6: Afghanistan have recalled fast bowler Shapoor Zadran for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland. Zadran makes a comeback in national colors after almost one and a half years. The pacer last played a T20I in June 2018 against Bangladesh.

The 15-member squad announced by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) selection committee also consists of young all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. Opening batsman, Usman Ghani, who was not included in Afghanistan's series against West Indies in October 2019, is back in the squad as well.
