Ihsanullah Janat named in Intercontinental Cup squad

Ihsanullah Janat, the uncapped 18-year-old opening batsman, has been named in Afghanistan's squad for the Intercontinental Cup game against Netherlands in Voorburg. The country's cricket board has also announced the One-Day International (ODI) squad for the series against Scotland and Ireland.
Ihsanullah first came into prominence when he scored a fifty and piloted Afghanistan to a shock victory against Australia in the Under-19 World Cup in 2014. He captained the national side in the Under-19 World Cup hosted by Bangladesh earlier this year.
Javed Ahmadi and Rahmat Shah are two surprise inclusions in the squad to face Scotland and Ireland. Ahmadi hasn't partaken in ODIs since the 2015 World Cup, while Rahmat last played for his country in the abridged version of the game in July 2014. Incidentally, Nawroz Mangal, the elder brother of Ihsanullah, has been left out.
Afghanistan are slated to play in a two-match ODI series against Scotland, which commences on July 4. They will then travel to Ireland to play a five-match ODI series before taking on Netherlands in Voorburg in their four-day Intercontinental Cup match, which starts on July 29. Afghanistan are placed third on the points table.
