ENG vs AFG Key Players

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan got the breakthrough against India, although a little too late. He proved that he can be the one to make the difference but will have to make amends here against a side that smoked him when he last played them in the 2019 World Cup.

Reece Topley

Reece Topley has announced himself in the World Cup. With his height and bounce, he did a find job to put pressure in his first game with four quality wickets.
