Afghanistan Captain Rahmat Shah Targets Tri-Series Victory

Afghanistan captain Rahmat Shah has expressed confidence in his team's ability to win the upcoming ODI tri-nation series in the UAE, scheduled for October 17–23, 2026. Shah cited the team's familiarity with local conditions in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah as a significant competitive advantage over opponents Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

Afghanistan enters the tournament following a hard-fought draw against Bangladesh in a recent one-off Test match, a result Shah believes will boost team momentum. Key players Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi return to the squad for the series, reinforcing the team's ambitions for the limited-overs competition.

Editor's note: Accurate summary of the upcoming series and the captain's confidence. The mention of the draw as a momentum builder is well-supported.
