New Delhi, March 5 -- Ibrahim Zadran has replaced Rashid Khan as Afghanistan's new T20I captain, as the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced the squad for their limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, starting from 13 March.

Rashid Khan's dismissal as Afghanistan T20I skipper comes in the aftermath of the team's group stage exit from the T20 World Cup 2026. Afghanistan finished third in Group D with four points, as South Africa and New Zealand advanced to the Super 8 stage. Ibrahim Zadran was Rashid Khan's deputy in the shortest format.

The ACB have also made other notable changes to both the ODI and T20I squads. Gulbadin Naib, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mohammad Ishaq have been left out of both the ODI and T20I squads.
