Najibullah Zadran has followed the same tried and tested route to the national side as many of his generation that came after the initial Afghan cricketing pioneers, with age-group cricket preparing him for the big stage. His ODI debut, against Ireland in Dublin in 2012, was possibly a little premature but Zadran's batting turned a corner in 2014 and he started to look more at home. He has played 67 T20Is in his career and managed to register 1477 runs at an average of 33.56. This already looks great for our last player betting tip from the IRE vs AFG match prediction.
