Afghanistan, who were recently awarded the Test status, are ready for a huge honour as they make their debut at Lordâs. They will take on Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) on Tuesday. The Afghanistan side will be lead by Asghar Stanikzai, while MCC will be captained by Brendon McCullum. The live streaming of this historic match will be available on Lordâs YouTube channel and Lordâs Facebook page. Afghanistan boasts of players, such as Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan, who earned all the accolades during their debut edition of IPL. Rashid went on to continue the momentum against West Indies, where he claimed his career-best ODI figures of 7 for 18. Afghanistan also comprise of quality all-rounders.
The likes of Samiullah Shenwari, Noor Ali Zadran, and Gulbadin Naib can put MCC in a spot of bother. However, MCC too have plethora of players to choose from apart from McCullum. Misbah-ul-Haq, Yasir Shah, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and likes are ready to bring in their expertise. Kumar Sangakkara, however, will not play due to split webbing.
George Dockrell and Tim Murtagh also make it to the MCC squad. Yasir, with 149 Test wickets, would look to pick cues from his successful game against Pakistan at Lord’s last year where he ended with tally of 10 wickets in a Test.
Last year, MCC lost the game against cricket-crazy nation Nepal by 41 runs while chasing 217. This time around, the intensity and exposure of the players are equal.
