Top 5 Afghanistan bowlers to watch out for in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024

Afghanistan’s bowling attack is expected to be an essential component in the next T20 World Cup 2024, especially with its strong spin bowling group, which is regarded as the best in the competition. Their spin firepower will be essential if the squad is to advance far in the World Cup on the spin-friendly surfaces of the West Indies and the USA. 

Afghanistan’s bowling attack is full of young, talented players who are match-winners in themselves and can deliver on the biggest stage. These are the top five Afghan bowlers to keep an eye on during the competition; with their extraordinary abilities, they can all completely change the course of the game.

Rashid Khan

One of the best leggies in world cricket, Rashid Khan, is all set to captain the Afghanistan team in the World Cup and also be the top bowler to watch out for. He has been going through a lean patch lately after recovering from injury, but he is a quality player, and we expect him to be back to his best in the upcoming tournament.

Mujeeb ur Rahman

The mystery spinner in the Afghanistan squad, Mujeeb ur Rahman, is another bowler to watch out for. On the slow pitches, Mujeeb could well be someone who the batters will have a lot of difficulty picking and might get strangled in his web.

Fazalhaq Farooqi

The left-arm pacer of Afghanistan is also a crucial aspect of the squad. Farooqi is a phenomenal new-ball bowler who can swing the ball both ways. If he gets even a tiny bit of help from the wicket, he can be deadly in the powerplay.

Azmatullah Omarzai

A young sensation in Afghanistan cricket who has risen up the ranks is Azmatullah Omarzai. Omarzai is another bowler who can swing the ball in both directions. He has taken the most wickets (18) for Afghanistan in the last year in T20Is.

Mohammad Nabi

The most experienced player in this squad is also a bowler to watch out for. Nabi has been around the team for a while now, and his experience will come in handy during difficult and crunch situations.
