5 Afghanistan players who might get bids in IPL 2020 Auction

5. Shafiqullah Shafiq

This is a relatively unknown name in Afghanistan cricketing circles. However, Shafiqullah Shafiq has been around for a little more than a decade now. He has played 24 ODI matches and 46 T20 internationals for the national side.

There may be doubts as to why he could be one of the Afghans who might attract bids in the IPL auction 2020. His record and consistency aren’t that great at the international arena. However, he creates an impact on the game. He can change the game lower down the order. He once smashed a double ton in a local T20 game.

Shafiq has a strike-rate 145.29 in international T20 cricket while it is 143.66 in all of T20 cricket. Hence, the 30-year-old batsman could be a decent addition. Moreover, he can tonk the ball a long way and can don the finisher’s role as well.
