Published by Webster

The left-arm fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi has been named in the Afghanistan squad for the upcoming five-match ODI series against Ireland. Several players like Yamin Ahmadzai and Saleel Safi have been included in the squad. Meanwhile, off-spin bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has been missed from the 15-member squad for the upcoming series. Fareed Malik and Bilal Sami are the other players who were left out of the Afghanistan squad which toured India last month. This will be the first series for the side since Hashmatullah Shahidi stepped down and Rahmat Shah took over the leadership role. Meanwhile, Rahmanullah Gurbaz will serve as his deputy. The change in captaincy completes Afghanistan’s leadership transition across formats since the new head coach Richard Pybus, who came into the leadership role after the T20 World Cup earlier this year. Rahmat Shah is Afghanistan’s leading run-getter in Tests and ODIs. Rahmat Shah has played in 12 tests and 128 ODIs since his debut in 2018. He is Afghanistan’s leading run scorer in ODIs with 4121 at an average of 35.22. …

Under the leadership of Shahidi and Trott, Afghanistan has seen one of their successful phases in thier ODI history, highlighted by victories against England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands at the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. However, they narrowly missed out on a place in the semifinals. Speaking on his decision, the 31-year old Shahidi said, “Today I announce with full respect and consent that I am resigning as captain of my team at my personal decision.” “It was a great honour for me to perform this responsibility as a Captain. I am proud to have served alongside my team with honesty, unity and commitment.” “By the grace of Allah, with the efforts of the officials, coaches and players, we have achieved many victories, won important matches, defeated big teams …

Published by Parlour News

The Indian government has strongly condemned Pakistan’s airstrikes on Afghan territory that have resulted in several civilian casualties, including women and children. “This blatant act of aggression by Pakistan is an assault on Afghanistan’s sovereignty and a direct threat to regional peace and stability,” read a statement by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Monday. Residents walk through the rubble after what Taliban officials said were Pakistani airstrikes a day earlier that killed civilians, including children, in the village of Mandokhail, Chamkani district, Paktia province, Afghanistan, on Monday, June 29, 2026. (Saifullah Zahir/AP Photo) It added that the strikes show “Pakistan’s persistent pattern of reckless behaviour and its futile attempt to externalize internal failures through desperate acts of violence beyond its borders”. “India conveys its condolences to Afghan families that have lost loved ones, prays for early recovery of those injured and reiterates its unwavering support for Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the MEA added.

Jaiswal century, Rohit’s 79 power India past Afghanistan

Jaiswal century, Rohit’s 79 power India past Afghanistan

Published by Webster

5 min readChennaiUpdated: Jun 20, 2026 08:47 PM IST Three days after Ishan Kishan made a compelling case for his place in the XI, Yashasvi Jaiswal sent a reminder on Saturday night that he too is in the race with a fluent century. But not before Rohit Sharma, whose spot is under scrutiny, showed he is no pushover with a measured 79 off 69. All of it unfolded under the watch of the selectors, who will have a tough call when they meet to pick the squad for the England ODIs. Courtesy a 170-run opening stand between Jaiswal and Rohit, India comfortably chased down Afghanistan’s 218, a total made possible largely by skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi’s maiden ODI century (102). It was an innings that rescued the visitors from a deep hole after Prasidh Krishna reduced them to 36/4 inside ten overs. On a Chepauk surface with considerable bounce, Prasidh hit the hard lengths well and the movement he generated troubled Afghanistan’s top order, with the top three all caught at first slip by Rohit.

Jaiswal’s ton, Rohit Sharma’s 79 seal India’s 3-0 clean sweep over Afghanistan in Chennai

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: Jun 20, 2026 08:42 PM IST A blazing century from Yashasvi Jaiswal, complemented by a polished 79 from skipper Rohit Sharma, powered India to a nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan at Chepauk on Sunday, sealing a 3-0 clean sweep in the ODI series. Jaiswal and Rohit set the tone with a commanding opening stand, their attacking intent making light work of the chase. Jaiswal was the aggressor from the outset, unfurling three boundaries in the first over. The elegant left-hander raced to his half-century in just 39 balls, propelling India past 100 within 13 overs. Rohit, in contrast, took his time before accelerating. He managed his first 10 runs from 17 deliveries, but quickly found his rhythm, dispatching Zia Ur Rahman for a four in the sixth over, followed by a four and a six in the eighth. He then took a liking to Rashid Khan, sweeping him for four to bring up his 47-ball fifty, and later collected back-to-back boundaries and a maximum off the Afghan spinner. Just as Rohit seemed poised …
