APL Career
Rahmat Shah is in the Nangarhar Cosmic squad for APL T20 2026, as the franchise's Afghan Icon and captain.
Rahmat Shah captains Nangarhar Cosmic after the 3 November switch. He is a top-order batter who has also bowled leg-spin, and he has been a long-form regular for Afghanistan for years. Toby Radford is head coach. Mark Boucher is mentor.
The captaincy change is easy to misread as a demotion or a promotion. The board's wording was narrower. It was a regulatory swap agreed with the owners and the players, announced on draft day. This profile does not invent a falling-out behind it.
Nangarhar open the Silver and Emerging categories. For a captain who builds innings rather than finishes them in a single over, the interesting picks may sit in those middle rounds: a keeper, an opener to bat with, a death bowler. None of those names are confirmed.
