Kabul, May 15 : Afghanistan have named uncapped fast pacer Abdul Rahman in a strong 15-member squad for the side's three-game ODI series against Sri Lanka happening on June 2, 4 and 7 in Hambantota. While announcing the squad, Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said Shahidullah Kamal, Yamin Ahmadzai, Zia Ur Rahman Akbar and Gulbadin Naib, who were part of the previous ODI tour to Sri Lanka, are now part of the reserves for the upcoming tour. Rahman had picked up seven wickets in five matches at an economy rate of 5.81 for Hindukush Strikers in the domestic one-day competition in Afghanistan.
