Afghanistan have won only one two Tests so far but their will have an opportunity to add moreꦛ win to their tally against Ireland.  🍃;Having lost the Test, ODI and T20I series to Sri Lanka recently, the team will be keen to get back to winning ways.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz could make his Test debut while leg spinner Khalil Gurbaz has also been included in the squad. Yamin Ahmadzai and Mohammad Salim, who were both part of Afghanistan's most recent squad for the one-off Test against Sri Lanka, missed out due injuries.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran an🌊d Rahmat Shah will be main batters for Afgꦬhanistan. Gurbaz is Afghanistan’s best batter and will be eyeing an impressive debut. Ibrahim Zadran has been mighty consistent for the team. Zadran scored a century in the Test match vs Sri Lanka on similar tracks. Rahmat Shah is also technically and temperamentally very sound, perfect for Test matches.
Nijat Masood, Naveed Zadran and Khalil Gurbaz will be main b༺owlers. Gurbaz could be the trump card for Afghanistan. The leg spinner is unseen but has a great record in domestic cricket where he has taken 40 wickets in 10 games. Njiat Masood and Naveed Zadran will also play a crucial role. Both were Afghanistan best bowlers in the Test match vs Sri Lanka.

Ireland will start the match as underdogs but they do 🍌have a team that can surprise Afghanistan if they can play to their potential. The team will be led by Andrew Balbirnie while they will also have the services of Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, Mark Adair, Craig Young among several ๊other senior players. Young and Barry McCarthy could be potential debutants.
Harry Tector, Andrew Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker could be main batters for Ireland. The conditions won’t be easy for Ireland as players are not used to play on 🐓slow and low surface. The top batters will be players who can play spin well and the aforementioned players are the best Ireland have in term𒈔s of their ability to play spin.
Mark Adai﷽r, Andy McBrine and George Dockrell will the top bowlers. Mark Adair is the team’s lead pacer and will have a huge responsibility of taking early wickets. McBrine and Dockrell as spinners will ✨be key for the team.
