Rahmat Shah is appointed as Afghanistan’s captain for both Tests and ODIs, according to multiple reports. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is named vice-captain in those two formats. Times of India and other coverage link the leadership change to the resignation of Hashmatullah Shahidi, who is reported to have stepped down after a period as captain. The outlets also note that Afghanistan retains separate leadership for the shortest format: Ibrahim Zadran continues as captain of the national T20I team. The announcements cover the restructuring of roles across formats, with Shah taking charge in Tests and ODIs and Gurbaz supporting as vice-captain, while Zadran remains responsible for T20I matches. The reporting does not include details on the immediate match schedule or the full selection plans, but it establishes the new captaincy hierarchy for Afghanistan’s major international formats.
