Allah Ghazanfar was ruled out of the 2025 season due to an injury. His countryman Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman, who is a right-arm off-spinner, is a renowned name in franchise cricket.

“The final was really intense; the Chinese were breathing down our necks throughout the game and made it really difficult for us to create a clear goal scoring chance,” Harmanpreet said in a Hockey India release.

On Tuesday, deep inside Chinese Mongolia, the Harmanpreet Singh-led Men in Blue did just about enough to beat a spirited Chinese side. The occasion: the final of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024.

AM Ghazanfar was also ruled out of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy for Afghanistan.

“Afghanistan’s young spin-bowling sensation, AM Ghazanfar,jljl33 has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy due to a fracture in the L4 vertebra, specifically in the left pars interarticularis,” the ACB had said in a statement.

The 18-year-old spinner is said to have sustained the injury during Afghanistan’s tour of Zimbabwe.
