After being handed the Test status last year, Afghanistan will play their first historic Test against India in Bengaluru starting from June 14. Apart from Afghanistan, Ireland were given the Test status as well. The Irish team, however, faced Pakistan last month. Ireland lost the match but it wasn’t that bad performance, considering it was their maiden Test. Now the action shifts to India vs Afghanistan.
The Afghan cricket team has made rapid strides in the international cricket. In One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and T20 Internationals, Afghanistan have defeated teams senior to them. Now in game’s longer format, the Afghan boys will be keen to dish out some solid performances. The team has got players who can trouble the opposition. Rashid Khan is one such name. The spinner has been a force to reckon with in limited-overs fixtures and is known for his quality bowling. Apart from him, Mohammad Nabi, captain Asghar Stanikzai, Mohammad Shahzad and youngster Mujeeb Zadran add to the versatility of the squad.
India, on the other hand, will be without captain Virat Kohli. In his absence, middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane has been given the responsibility of leading the side. The Test side sees the return of Dinesh Karthik and Karun Nair. KL Rahul finds a place in the team as well and will be interesting to see whether he makes it to the playing XI or not.
The Indian spin duo of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have torn apart opponents on home soil and it will be interesting to see how Afghanistan responds as they themselves will bank on spinners.
Playing their first-ever Test no doubt will be a proud moment for the Asghar Stanikzai-led side, which itself is an achievement. The visitors will make sure that the historic Test produces some good memories as they set on a long journey.
