Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan: Ibrahim Zadran hands maiden Test cap to uncle Noor Ali Zadran in rare moment in sport
In a moment as rare as it can get in sport, Afghanistan opener Ibrahim Zadran handed his uncle Noor Ali Zadran his maiden Test cap during the one-off Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
Born 13 years apart according to official records, Noor Ali had made his debut for the national team all the way back in 2009 when cricket in the war-torn nation was still in its infancy, and was part of the Emerging team recently while his nephew Ibrahim represented the senior side.
On Friday, not only did Noor Ali finally make his debut in Test whites after representing Afghanistan in 51 ODIs and 23 T20Is, he ended up opening alongside Ibrahim — making for a rare uncle-nephew opening combination.
