Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan)

Mohammad Nabi is one of the crucial cogs of the Afghanistan team. He has featured in all the 101 ODIs that Afghanistan played thus far and scored 2,315 runs in as many matches and has the ability to hit the ball long and big. His recent performances with the bat in the T20 Blast would give him a lot of confidence going into this tournament. He picked six wickets in the 3-match ODI series against Ireland recently and will be the key for Afghanistan along with the likes of Rashid Khan.

Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)

The spin sensation from Afghanistan has already made a name for himself with his bowling prowess, Rashid Khan has picked up a whopping 108 wickets in 46 ODI games, which puts him in a league of his own in the white-ball cricket. He is well versed in the art of choking down the opposition batsmen, and Asia Cup being a perfect platform for a player of his capability, one could expect some unbelievable numbers from the 19-year-old in the upcoming matches.
