Ente
Rashid Khan has performed exceedingly well in recent times

#5 Asghar Stanikzai

Stanikzai will be a key player for the historic one-off test match vs India

The skipper of the Afghanistan national team, Asghar Stanikzai will be a key player for the historic one-off test match vs India.

He will look to lead from the front just like he did in the World Cup Qualifiers and then again recently in the T20I series vs Bangladesh where Afghanistan blanked their opponents 3-0.

High on confidence and with a bagful of experience under his belt, the Afghani skipper will need to step up against the big boys.

Over the years, Stanikzai has been a decent performer for Afghanistan but what stands out is his captaincy and the team will need their captain.

Will Stanikzai be successful and become only the second ever skipper to help their country win it’s debut test match? Only time will tell.


Which of these players will make a huge impact for Afghanistan? Sound off in the comments section below!
