The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) confirmed that Ghazanfar suffered a fracture in the L4 vertebra, specifically in the left pars interarticularis, and will require a minimum of four months to recover while undergoing treatment.

Mujeeb, who was not part of Afghanistan’s Champions Trophy squad, recently participated in SA20 2025 and featured in the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe.
