World Cup 2023: Team Afghanistan Players List, Squad Their Updated ODI Stats, And Full Schedule: Afghanistan has arrived in India with their finest 15 for the 2023 World Cup. Their first encounter will be against arch-rivals Bangladesh on October 7th at the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala. Afghanistan will compete in the ODI World Cup for the third time in a row.
Afghanistan is the most extreme example of team-building battles and hardships. This squad has grown from the ground up and is currently ranked in the top ten. Afghans have been the most developed teams in recent years. They were not to be discovered in 2010, but they worked hard after that to gain ICC membership. However, their World Cup statistics are dismal, but they have the potential to cause major upsets in the competition.
Overall, they have improved significantly, as seen by their performance in the Asia Cup 2023, when they came agonizingly close to reaching the Super Four stage before falling short owing to a minor math error. They must be hoping to win this game and set the tone for the rest of the season. Squad’s statistics are as follows
