There is a lot of discussion about one name in the Afghanistan cricket team right now. That name is Noor-ul-Haq Malekzai. Actually, Noor is the new chief selector of the Afghanistan Cricket Team. Let me tell you about Noor, he has played 2 matches for Afghanistan in international cricket, and now the keys to the future of players like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi are in his hands. Noor-ul-Haq was serving this role temporarily for the last three months but now he has been given the responsibility of this post permanently by the ACB.
Only a 29-year-old player was made a chief selector
After making Noor-ul-Haq Malekzai the chief selector, the Afghanistan Cricket Board has said a lot in his praise. He said, “Noor has done her job very well in the last three months. He also picked a good team for the Under-19 Asia Cup and the World Cup. Best wishes to them for the future”.
Noor -ul-Haq Malekzai has played only 2 ODIs for Afghanistan. He made his international debut at the age of 17 in an ODI match for Afghanistan on August 17, 2010, and the next one-day match played on October 11, 2010, proved to be the last match of his career. In these 2 matches, Noor could only score 12 runs and he was not given a chance again. Noor’s age is just 29 years old. In such a situation, the responsibility of taking Afghanistan cricket to a different height will be on him.
Many tough decisions are taken in the very first time
Afghanistan is yet to participate in the limited over series against Bangladesh. In such a situation, the selection committee headed by Noor-ul-Haq has taken some tough decisions in the team selected for this tour. He has not given place to 6 big players in this team.
Mohammad Shahzad, Gulbadin Naib, Hamid Hasan, and Hashmatullah Shahidi have been left out in the T20I series. At the same time, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Usman Ghani has not been included in the ODIs. At the same time, Australian player Stuart Law has been made the interim coach of the team for this tour. Along with this, the search for a regular coach is also going on continuously.
