AFG vs BAN vs ZIM ODI Tri-series 2026 preview
Afghanistan arrive in good form after beating Ireland 4-0 in a series played in August. Rahmat Shah will continue as captain, and Rashid Khan and Ibrahim Zadran return to the side after being rested for the one-off Test, which Afghanistan drew in thrilling fashion thanks to a memorable effort from Qais Ahmad.
Bangladesh have made a change in leadership, as Litton Das comes back into the ODI side as captain in place of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, whom the management wants to concentrate on his all-round game. The squad also includes a call-up for 29-year-old Aliss Al Islam, and Hasan Mahmud returns as well.
Zimbabwe hosted Australia for a three-match ODI series in September and pushed the visitors hard in the final game. Sikandar Raza will remain their captain, although Richard Ngarava is sidelined while he recovers from a back injury.
