Rashid Khan will captain Afghanistan's 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, starting February 7. Key inclusions are all-rounder Gulbadin Naib and pace bowler Naveen-ul-Haq, returning from injury and previous omissions. Mystery spinner A.M. Ghazanfar is in reserve, with Mujeeb Ur Rahman preferred for the main squad. The team, which reached the semi-finals in 2024, will play a T20 series against the West Indies as preparation and faces New Zealand, South Africa, UAE, and Canada in Group D.
