Buffalo Park Cricket Ground: Afghanistan Cricket Board's Selection Committee on Wednesday unveiled the 18-member U19 Squad led by Naseer Khan for the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 scheduled to kick off on January 19 in South Africa.

Naseer Khan, Afghanistan regular skipper, will be poised to make a triumphant return, expected to recover in time to lead the squad. Accompanying him in this leadership role is wicket-keeper batter Numan Shah, appointed as his deputy, adding depth to the team's strategic setup.

A blend of experience and emerging talent defines the squad, with top-order batter Ali Ahmad Nasar making a comeback after missing the ACC U19 Men’s Asia Cup 2024.
