By India Today Sports Desk: Rashid Khan returned to the Afghanistan squad on Sunday for the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, which begins on July 5 in Chattogram, after being rested for the team's one-off Test in Mirpur to prioritise his long-term fitness.
Izharulhaq Naveed, a fellow leg-spinner who rose to prominence in Australia's Big Bash League last season, has been given his first ODI call-up. However, left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad, who was in Afghanistan's squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka earlier this month, is not included. Shahidullah, Zia-ur-Rehman, Wafadar Moment, Mohammad Saleem, and Sayed Shirzad are among the newcomers to Afghanistan's ODI squad.
