Karim Janat is in line to play an ODI after more than six years having been included in Afghanistan's 17-member squad for the Asia Cup that will get underway on August 30.
Janat played his only ODI in February 2017 against Zimbabwe, and has not featured in the format since. He, however, did play a T20I as recently as July this year.
Sharafuddin Ashraf, who has not been part of the ODI side since January 2022, also made a comeback. Of the squad that took part in the three-match ODI series against Pakistan recently, Wafadar Momand and Azmatullah Omarzai missed the cut for the Asia Cup.
Omarzai had missed the third ODI against Pakistan due to a side strain and was replaced by Gulbadin Naib in the side.
Afghanistan squad: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hassan, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (capt), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Alikhil (wk), Rashid Khan, Gulbadin Naib, Karim Janat, Abdul Rahman, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Suliman Safi, Fazalhaq Farooq
