28 April 2025 | 08:21AMThe much-awaited Only Test between Afghanistan A (AFG-A) and Sri Lanka A (SL-A) is set to take place on 29th April 2025, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Both teams have shown great promise in the recent Tri-Nation Series, and this Test match will serve as an exciting challenge for both sides.
Afghanistan A has been impressive in their performances, with solid batting depth and a mix of experienced all-rounders and bowlers. The likes of Sharafuddin Ashraf, Yama Arab, and Yama Rehman add crucial experience to the squad, while young talents like Mohammad Ishaq and Sediqullah Atal are expected to make a mark. Their spin attack, led by Qais Ahmad and Bilal Sami, will be key, as the conditions in Abu Dhabi tend to assist spinners.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka A has a strong and balanced squad, featuring players like Sadeera Samarawickrama, Lahiru Udara, and Pasindu Sooriyabandara, who can give Afghanistan a tough competition. The batting unit, supported by experienced all-rounders like Tharindu Ratnayake and Dushan Hemantha, will be looking to counter Afghanistan’s strong spin attack. Their pace bowlers, including Mohamed Shiraz and Dilshan Madushanka, will be expected to take early wickets on a surface that might offer some bounce.
Both teams will be looking to establish dominance early in the match, and this game promises to be a thrilling encounter for cricket fans.
