Sports Desk: Afghanistan is a country full of spin mysteries. Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Noor Ahmed are still formidable for any batsman in any country. Along with this, another name Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar has joined the new spin mystery of Afghans.
Tanjid Hasan Tamim, Mushfiqur Rahimra to understand his carrom, had to give a tough test. But failed to pass at the end of the day. And to Rishad, Taskin, Shariful, his deliveries are like a chapter outside the syllabus.
Ghazanfar, who got a chance in the team due to the injury of Mujib ur Rahman, is now the middle man of the team. The diversity of bowling style with finger and wrist strength made him stand out. Batters have become a terror without touching 19. He had 4 wickets next to his name in the last 5 ODIs. After one match that number is now 10.
Although born in 2006, Ghazanfar started as a pacer. The journey is simple in domestic cricket too. Playing tennis ball led to an academy in Paktia province. Shapagiza then got a call-up to Cricket League team MIS Ainak Knights.
His life changed there. On the advice of former Afghan captain Dawlat Ahmadzai, the pacer became a mystery spinner. His idol is Ravichandran Ashwin of India.
He has been doing spin ball in the domestic league for the last three seasons. He also showed glimpses of bowling in the Youth World Cup, Emerging Asia Cup. He was called up to Kolkata Knight Riders in the last season, but did not get a chance to play with the team.
