In the list of the youngest players of the competition, Allah Ghazanfar comes at the top as he is just 19 years old. The youngster has already done wonders for his country in the ODI format and could be key in the Asia Cup with his mystery and accuracy.
He was also bought by the Mumbai Indians for IPL 2025, but unfortunately missed out due to injury. Therefore the age gap between the youngest and oldest player in Asia Cup 2025 is 24 years. Afghanistan also have the youngest captain in the form of Rashid Khan who is just 26 years old now.
