Top 3 Afghanistan players to watch out for in Champions Trophy 2025

After the ODI and T20I World Cup, eight cricket teams will clash against each other in the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, which is coming back after eight years. While the eyes will be on India, Australia, and England, there are teams like Afghanistan and Bangladesh that might produce some upsets in the tournament. Afghanistan is one of the teams who have done well in the past. They have a good team in the season as well, including some great players. 

Here are the top three Afghanistan players to watch out for in the Champions Trophy 2025:

1. Noor Ahmad

Spinner Noor Ahmad is one of the most important players in the Afghanistan squad. He has taken a lot of wickets in the SA20 and in the other series as well. Since the Pakistan pitches might favor the spinners a bit more than the pacers, Noor will be an outstanding player in those conditions. He did well in the T10 league in Abu Dhabi, taking 10 wickets. The 20-year-old has quite some experience now and will be a key in Afghanistan’s win. 

2. Ibrahim Zadran

Batter Ibrahim Zadran has gathered a lot of runs in 2024. The 23-year-old has a good experience in the ODIs, scoring two half-centuries in two series. Since he played just two ODI series, there are not many stats related to his score. The player scored 844 runs in 27 innings in 2024 across formats, averaging 33. 

3. Allah Ghazanfar

The spinner is known for his mystery bowling, which was seen in the previous South Africa series. The batters couldn’t read him and struggled throughout the entire series. While the 18-year-old bowler doesn’t have much experience, his performance in the recent past is the main reason behind his selection in the team.
