3. Mohammad Shahzad

The 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Shahzad is one of the entertaining cricketers for his nation. While the right-handed batsman has played 69 ODIs and 63 T20Is for Afghanistan, he has also 20 first-class match experiences where he has scored 1,582 runs with 54.55 averages. He was the first Afghan batsman to hit a double-century in first-class cricket when he scored 214* runs against Canada at Sharjah in February 2010. Shahzad has hit four centuries and nine half-centuries in his first-class career.

To inspire the nation in their debutant Test match, Shahzad has to deliver his best.
