Afghanistan v Australia 2012
Mangal to lead Afghanistan against Australia
ESPNcricinfo staff
August 24, 2012
Nawroz Mangal will lead Afghanistan against Australia in their one-off ODI in Sharjah on Saturday. Mangal, Afghanistan's regular captain, had missed their previous international assignment - the Intercontinental Cup and World Cricket League Championship matches against Ireland in July.
Afghanistan squad for one-off ODI v Australia |
Mohammad Nabi has been named vice-captain, ahead of Karim Sadiq who stood in for Mangal in the Ireland games. The squad includes batsman Javed Ahmadi, who had captained Afghanistan Under-19s at the ongoing World Cup in Australia.
The only player to miss out from the XI that played the World Cricket League Championship (the ICC's 50-overs competition for Associates) game against Ireland, is left-arm spinner Hamza Hotak.
The ODI against Australia will be Afghanistan's second against a Full Member, following the game against Pakistan, also in Sharjah, in February. Australia are in the UAE for a limited-overs series against Pakistan, and Cricket Australia said that they had agreed to play the match against Afghanistan in an effort to assist with their cricketing development.

What are all these Insallahs and Mashallahs? I dont see any By Jesus or By God? This is just a game people. Someone will win and another will lose and neither Allah or Jesus has nothing to do with it,
Posted by KURUWITA on (August 24, 2012, 16:58 GMT)I wish Afghan to win very well from a Lankan Aussie.
Posted by sawifan on (August 24, 2012, 14:50 GMT)As an Aussie fan 2nd and a cricket fan 1st, i really hope the Afghan team plays well. Inshallah indeed! All the best for this game and the cricketing future!! As much as i would hate team AUS to lose, part of me would be very happy as well.
