5 key players for Afghanistan in Afghanistan tour of Ireland 2018

#5 Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Muzeeb Ur Rahman

Like his teammate Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman too became popular in international cricket at a very young age. Everyone was surprised when KXIP had picked him for a whopping amount of Rs. 4 crores in IPL this year. He was an unknown identity on the world stage till then. However, he proved his worth with some incredible performances. Relatively new to the international cricket, he has played only 15 ODIs and even fewer T20I matches. But make no mistake, he has got a plethora of difficult-to-decipher variations in his gameplay which makes it troublesome for a batsman to face him. With Rashid Khan already in the side, this duo would pose a real threat to the Irish team.
