Islamabad: (Web Desk) Afghanistan’s hard-hitting opening batsman Hazratullah Zazai will miss the remainder of the T20 World Cup due to an abdominal muscle strain, tournament organizers said. Zazai will be replaced by travelling reserve Gulbadin Naib in Afghanistan’s 15-player squad for the tournament in Australia.
Furthermore Afghanistan is bottom of Group One with two points from three matches in the Super 12 stage. They lost to England and their games against New Zealand and Ireland were abandoned due to rain.
Meanwhile Afghanistan needs to beat Sri Lanka on Tuesday and Australia on Friday to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.
