In the wake of sanctions against Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Afghanistan reveals its T20I squad for the series against UAE. The trio, who opted out of the central contracts for 2024, faced consequences, including restrictions on playing in overseas leagues. However, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) states that the players have expressed a strong desire to represent their country again. While acknowledging their eagerness, the ACB continues its investigation into the matter. T20I captain Rashid Khan misses the series due to back surgery, with Ibrahim Zadran taking the helm.
