With just three days to go for the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL), Afghan’s all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai will join defending champions Rangpur Riders at this year’s tournament.
Omarzai is a fast-bowling all-rounder who can strike early in the powerplay and clear the ropes in the death overs, says ESPNcricinfo. He has been central to Afghanistan’s evolution from a spin-dominated side to a more balanced, multi-dimensional team.
Initially seen as a batting prospect with some bowling ability, he steadily honed his skills with the ball and emerged as Afghanistan’s leading seam-bowling all-rounder, it notes.
Omarzai delivered a historic all-round performance against England in the 2025 Champions Trophy, scoring 41 off 31 balls and taking his first One-Day International (ODI) five-wicket haul.
Two days later, his 67 off 63 against Australia helped Afghanistan post a competitive total of 273, though a rained-off match meant the side was knocked out of the tournament.
With credentials like that, Omarzai may well provide fireworks within the star-studded league come July10 when Guyana Amazon Warriors take on defending champions Rangpur Riders.
