Afghanistan drops Dawlat Zadran for West Indies series

 Afghanistan has left out veteran fast bowler Dawlat Zadran for next month’s ODI and Twenty20 series against the West Indies in India. Afghanistan lost all of its nine World Cup matches in England under the captaincy of Gulbadin Naib before Rashid Khan was appointed skipper for all the three formats. Since the World Cup, Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh in the one-off test and also made it to the final of the triangular Twenty20 series in Bangladesh where Zimbabwe was the other participating nation. However, the final was abandoned due to rain.

“We have six changes from the World Cup squad. These changes are a part of our efforts to promote good sides for the future,” chief Afghanistan selector Andy Moles said in a statement.
