Afghanistan have announced their squad for the upcoming ODI series against Bangladesh, set to begin next month. The team comes off a recent victory against South Africa, where they showcased impressive performances to seal the series 2-1. Their win against South Africa must have boosted their confidence. 

In light of this success, the selectors have made two notable additions to the squad. Afghanistan have brought in opening batter Sediqullah Atal and spinner Noor Ahmad. Ibrahim Zadran and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have been left out due to their respective injuries.
