The 10th edition of the Shpageeza Cricket League (SCL), Afghanistan T20 league, will be held between July 19 and August 1, 2025, at the Kabul Cricket Stadium. Among five competing franchises, the Band-e-Amir Dragons, led by experienced top-order batter Hashmatullah Shahidi, are being recognized as one of the strongest teams in the competition.

Band-e-Amir Dragons have a well-balanced squad, with all departments well covered. Their batting is stacked with players like Darwish Rasooli, Sediq Atal, and Asif Musazai, who provide firepower and consistency. star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Shahzad will not just provide much-needed explosiveness at the top but also much-needed experience behind the stumps.

The bowling unit is no less intimidating. With Nijat Masood and Saleem Safi leading the pace attack and with dynamic spin partners Abdul Hadi and Nangyal Kharoti, they are set to take advantage of the turning Afghan tracks. The all-rounders Gulbadin Naib and Qamar Shams rounded out the attack, while Allah Mohammad, Khalil Ahmad, and Asif Shah all added youth to the side.
