Allah Ghazanfaris a afgan crickter, he is a spin bowler. Hewas always destined for greatness. Last year, he set the stage on fire with a jaw-dropping 6/26 against Bangladesh, spinning out their batsmen with his wicked off-breaks and sneaky doosras.

When the ACB dropped their 17-man Asia Cup squad list on August 24, with Ghazanfar’s name next to Rashid, Noor Ahmad, and Mujeeb, the internet went wild, calling it Afghanistan’s strongest spin attack ever.
