IND vs AFG 2026: Top 3 players to watch out for in Only Test | CricTracker

India and Afghanistan are set to face each other in a one-off Test match in Mullanpur starting on June 6. The contest promises to be an intriguing one as players switch their focus from the fast-paced T20 format to the challenges of red-ball cricket.

With a mix of experienced campaigners and potential debutants expected to feature, both teams will be eager to make a strong statement. As the two sides prepare for the unique challenge of Test cricket, several players could play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the match.

Here are three players to watch out for in the India vs Afghanistan one-off Test:

Azmatullah Omarzai

Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai will be one of the key players to keep an eye on during the Test. Omarzai has played only one Test match so far, claiming a wicket but not getting an opportunity to showcase his batting skills. However, his performances in white-ball cricket have established him as one of Afghanistan’s most dependable all-rounders.

Having played in Mullanpur during the IPL and possessing experience in Indian conditions, Omarzai could prove to be a valuable asset for his side. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball gives Afghanistan greater balance, and he will be eager to make a lasting impact in the longest format of the game.
