The Afghanistan team that will take part in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 event is studded with players of various experiences. The senior all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, 40 years old, is the oldest player, and conversely, the 20-year-old fast bowler Naveed Zadran is the youngest Afghan cricketer in the prestigious event. The senior all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, aged 40, is the oldest player in the competition, and, in contrast, 20-year-old quick bowler Naveed Zadran is the youngest Afghan cricketer of the event.

 Mohammad Nabi: The Veteran Leader
Mohammad Nabi has been the backbone of Afghanistan cricket for a very long time.
The all-rounder, a real pro, made his debut in 2009 and, hence, became a key player in Afghanistan's world of international cricket. Among his off-spin technique and lower-order hitting, Nabi’s experience will be a key advantage in games with high stakes. As a leader, he will lead from the front and act as the steadying force to the team as they oppose the heavyweights of the cricket world.

Naveed Zadran: The Young Sensation
Naveed Zadran, a young fast bowler from Afghanistan, is preparing to kick the ground hard in the tournament.
A very young Zadran, only 20 years old, has taken the fastest track so far with the biggest distractions in international cricket, and he also did not miss his spot in the actual squad that was announced after the domestic competition. Not only can he make the ball rise and move, but he can also be a significant factor for Afghanistan, more notably in fast and seaming pitches.
