ICC World Cup 2019: Strongest Afghanistan Playing XI

Spin bowlers - Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman

The young spinners will have a lot of responsibilities on their shoulders

Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the main reasons behind Afghanistan's rise in international cricket and the spin-bowling duo will once again be shouldering the responsibilities of their nation when they don the Afghanistan jersey in the 2019 World Cup.

Leg-spinner Rashid Khan is the most successful Afghan bowler in ODI format with 118 wickets in just 52 matches. Rashid has picked 4 five-wicket hauls in ODIs and has a miserly economy rate of just 3.90. His best performance in ODIs came up against Windies when Khan picked 7 wickets giving away only 18 runs. He will be the player to watch out for in the ICC World Cup 2019.

His partner, Mujeeb is a mystery spinner who was playing the ICC U-19 World Cup last year. Mujeeb's performances helped his team reach the semi-finals of the tournament and the Afghanistan cricket fans will be hoping for the same performance when he represents the senior team in the World Cup.
