Ibrahim Zadran doubtful for one-off Test against New Zealand

Ibrahim Zadran to miss Test match against New Zealand?

Afghanistan opener Ibrahim Zadran is a doubtful for the one-off Test against New Zealand after copping up an injury in Greater Noida on Sunday. The 22-year-old opening batter hurt his ankle during the team’s practice session.

“Today, in the practice session, Ibrahim had an injury in his ankle. But it’s not sure 100 per cent what will happen tomorrow. We will see what will happen with him,” Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi said at the pre-match press conference.

Zadran has played 7 of Afghanistan’s 9 Tests. He scored his maiden century in the format earlier this year in February against Sri Lanka.

Afghanistan is already without star spinner Rashid Khan and now have been dealt with another big blow ahead of their Test match against New Zealand on Monday.
