Afghanistan is ready to face Sri Lanka in the first match of the Asia Cup

Published

The Afghanistan team is ready to challenge Sri Lanka in the first match of the tournament.

The 2022 Asia Cup is the perfect tournament for Afghanistan to showcase their talent. The squad has been searching for a crown in the world tournaments for quite some time now and thus the Asian tournament is a good haven for them.

The Afghanistan team lacked experience in the past. However, with many of their players playing in several T20 leagues around the world, they now have the experience to go the distance. Afghanistan, which will challenge Sri Lanka in the first match of the tournament, belongs to the first group. Three days later (August 30) they are scheduled to take on the team in Bangladesh.

The Afghanistan team is still acting like a rookie. But, there are a few players who can change the complexion of the match at any given time. Bowling has always been their strength. Spinner Rashid Khan’s bowling will make it difficult for any opposition player to get into his usual range.

However, there may be times when Rashid doesn’t always deliver what the team needs. Najibullah Zadran is likely to be their next trump card. Middle-order batting is likely to be a problem as skipper Mohammad Nabi is not among the best at the moment. If the team believes strongly in their bowling and the pitches are bowler-friendly, Afghanistan can make a big splash in Asia Cup 2022.

Team Squad : Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Afsar Zazai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Farid Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Karim Janat, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmad , Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Samiullah Shinwari.

Sri Lanka Under-19 Women extended their impressive run in the Tri-Series with a composed four-wicket victory over Australia Women Under-19 cricket team at Bill Pippen Oval Today.

Jaswar Umar, President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for the presidency of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Umar becomes the fourth candidate in the race, joining Shirantha Peiris, Deva Henry, and Asanga Seneviratne, who are also contesting for the top position in the country’s Olympic body.

His time as football chief has created divided opinions among sports professionals who evaluate his performance. On one hand, Sri Lanka’s national team has shown improvement in international results, including a rise in the FIFA rankings from 204 to 191, along with notable performances against stronger opposition.

However, his approach has also faced criticism. Stakeholders have raised concerns over the increased reliance on Sri Lankan-origin overseas players, with claims that it has limited opportunities for local talent. The long-term vision for developing youth and building grassroots football programs has become a subject of public inquiry.

Umar now aims to advance his career through NOC while he leads Sri Lankan football with both positive results and ongoing public criticism of his work.

The upcoming election will become a competitive battle because four candidates will vie for control of a key position which holds major power within the country’s sports system.
