Afghanistan Cricket Board Chief Executive (CEO) Naseeb Khan told Cricbuzz that the 39-year-old, who retired from Test cricket in 2019, will also retire from the 50-over format after the ICC tournament. Mohammad Nabi made his ODI debut in 2009 against Scotland. He impressed everyone by scoring a half-century in his very first match. He has played 165 ODIs so far in which he has scored 3549 runs at an average of 27.30 and also taken 171 wickets. He is currently playing the ODI series against Bangladesh in UAE. Mohammad Nabi may retire from ODIs Naseeb Khan also said that Nabi can continue playing T20 after his retirement from ODI cricket. “Yes, Nabi is retiring from ODIs after the Champions Trophy and he has informed the board about his wish,” Naseeb told Cricbuzz. He told me a few months ago that he wanted to end his ODI career after the Champions Trophy and we welcome his decision. After the Champions Trophy, I think, he is expected to continue his T20 career and that is the plan as of now.” Mohammad Nabi played a brilliant inning of 82 runs in the first match of the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh going on in UAE. Due to his innings, Afghanistan was successful in reaching the score of 235 in that match. Defending it, Allah Ghazanfar led his team to victory by taking 6 wickets. The second and third ODIs of the series will take place on November 9 and 11 respectively.
Asghar Afghan Exclusive Part 1: Afghanistan will defeat India too, cricket will not be banned in the country…
It is difficult to beat India in India, but if the match is held in Sharjah then India will face problems – Asghar Afghan Asghar Afghan (Photo Source: Getty Images) Afghanistan’s veteran player Asghar Afghan is playing for Gujarat Giants in Legends League Cricket. Asghar Afghan retired from international cricket after the T20 World Cup 2021. He has played 6 Tests, 114 ODIs and 75 T20 matches for Afghanistan. Recently, Asghar Afghan talked about many things in an exclusive interview with CricTracker. He made a big statement about Afghanistan’s first ODI win against South Africa recently. Afghan also made a big claim that Afghanistan will now defeat India as well. If the match had been played between South Africa and England, perhaps the result would have been different- Asghar Afghan The three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and South Africa is being played in the UAE. In the first match of the series, Afghanistan defeated South Africa for the first time in the ODI format by winning by 6 wickets. At the same time, the team then won the second ODI by 177 runs and achieved the biggest victory in this format. Talking about Afghanistan’s performance in the ODI series against South Africa, Asghar Afghan said, Teams face difficulties in playing against Afghanistan in Sharjah because it is our home ground and we know how the wicket is at any given time. If this match had taken place in South Africa and England, the result would have been different. But there is no doubt that Afghanistan has played great cricket and bowled brilliantly. If we look at it on paper, the players of the Afghanistan team have more experience than South Africa. Because apart from one or two players, many players play a lot of cricket. The team will now defeat India as well- Afghan Asghar Afghan was asked another question whether Afghanistan can beat India in the upcoming series, to which the veteran replied, You can’t say anything in cricket. The match between Afghanistan and India was tied in the 2018 Asia Cup. Recently, the last match of the T20 series of the India tour was tied and a super over was played. There is no doubt that Afghanistan is a great team. You cannot say whether you will be able to defeat this team or not because cricket is a day game, whoever plays well will win the match. If a series is played between India and Afghanistan, then Afghanistan will give them a tough challenge. It is difficult to defeat India in India, but if the match is held in Sharjah, then India will have to face difficulties. These are false rumours- Asghar Afghan said about the ban on cricket in Afghanistan There have been reports in the media for a long time that cricket may be banned in Afghanistan. Let us tell you, the Taliban government has already banned women from playing cricket. Further, the third question asked to Asghar Afghan in the exclusive interview was about the ban on cricket in Afghanistan, to which he…
Asghar Afghan Exclusive Part-2: Afghanistan in Champions Trophy, coaching in IPL and how to improve Test cricket? Read Crictracker’s exclusive interview with Asghar Afghan
Read this special interview with Asghar Afghan Asghar Afghan (Image Credit- Twitter/X) Former Afghanistan cricket team captain Asghar Afghan will be seen playing for Gujarat Greats in the third season of Legends League Cricket (LLC). Recently, he had a special conversation with Crictracker, which is the official media partner of the ongoing season of LLC, about the Afghanistan team. In this interview, he has told what the Afghan team will have to do to do well in Test cricket. How is Afghanistan going to perform in the Champions Trophy? And is he himself going to be seen working with any IPL team? So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Asghar Afghan: Question: How do you see the performance of the Afghanistan team in the upcoming Champions Trophy? Asghar Afghan: Look, the pitches of Pakistan and India are quite similar. There are batting tracks, later they are a bit slow. But Afghanistan will have to go there and play good cricket. As I said earlier, Afghanistan players are very experienced at this time, they play cricket leagues all over the world, play different bowlers. In my opinion, today there is no team as experienced as Afghanistan in the world except India and one or two other teams. But it is being heard that India will go to Pakistan or not because of politics. In my opinion, these things should be kept away from cricket. Sports should be kept away from politics. Afghanistan will play very good cricket in the upcoming Champions Trophy. They have a lot of experience in the 50-over World Cup and the T20 World Cup, the team now knows that they can beat any team. So, I hope that this time Afghanistan’s performance in the Champions Trophy will be different. Question: What more does Afghanistan need to do to improve in Test cricket? Asghar Afghan: Look, first of all we have to make our first class cricket tough. Whenever Afghanistan has a first class season, I think all national players should play the first class season. Our first class season is about to start, but about 40-50 of our young cricketers have left the country. If the current 25-30 cricketers also do not play first class cricket, then our test cricket will be left far behind. My suggestion to the cricket board is that they should ask the national players to play domestic cricket so that the youth can gain experience. Only then can we do well in this format. Question: This time too you are playing LLC season, how is your preparation this season and will your team lift the trophy? Asghar Afghan: On the paper, our team is very good. The team has players like Shikhar Dhawan, Chris Gayle, Mohammad Kaif, Shannon Gabriel. We are just playing regular cricket. Before this, I have also played a lot of cricket leagues. You can’t say anything in T20 cricket, let’s see what happens, but we will try to play good cricket. Question: If you get a chance to work in IPL in…
“Flight delayed for 4 hours, did not get a chance to practice”- Is ICC responsible for Afghan team’s defeat in the semi-finals?
Afghanistan suffered a crushing defeat by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match. Afghanistan Cricket Team (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan had to face defeat by 9 wickets against South Africa in the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, the culprits for Afghanistan’s defeat were their batsmen, as the team was all out for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind this was something else, which was mentioned by former great England cricketer Michael Vaughan as soon as the match started. Vaughan had posted on social media that Afghanistan’s team could lose due to two reasons. This is what happened. After Afghanistan’s defeat, Michael Vaughan’s tweet is going viral like fire. Fans are also giving their reactions on that tweet. Michael Vaughan tweeted before the first semi-final match In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan had posted a post and wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in St Vincent on Monday night. Their flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. So they did not get time to practice nor could they get used to the new place. I am afraid there is a complete lack of respect for the players.” In this way, he has targeted the ICC without naming it, because the schedule is made by the ICC. Let us tell you that earlier Rohit Sharma had also given his opinion about the schedule made by the ICC. So Afghanistan qualify for the WC semi winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players i am afraid .. #T20WorldCup2024 — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 After the last match against Bangladesh, Afghanistan had to catch a flight in the afternoon, but the flight was four hours late. So the flight arrived late at night and they did not get time to practice. The next day they had to play in the semi-final match and this proved to be costly for the team. You will remember that many teams had raised questions on the schedule even at the beginning of the tournament. In this way, if it is said that the reason behind this poor performance of Afghanistan is the schedule of ICC, then it will not be wrong.
VIDEO: After defeating AUS, Afghan players created ruckus, danced with Bravo on Champion song
Afghanistan created a major upset by defeating Australia in the Super 8.

After the match was over, they celebrated this victory outside the field as well. Actually, some videos are going viral on social media in which they are seen celebrating in the team bus after the match. In this video, they are dancing on DJ Bravo’s song Champion. Now you must be wondering why the Afghan team is dancing to this song leaving behind so many other songs. Dwayne Bravo ‘Champion’ celebrations in Afghanistan team bus. pic.twitter.com/PQEmnexV4f — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) June 23, 2024 Let us tell you that former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has a huge contribution behind Afghanistan’s victory. In fact, the Afghanistan Cricket Board had appointed Dwayne Bravo as bowling consultant before the T20 World Cup. Under his guidance, Afghanistan achieved this remarkable success in this T20 World Cup. This victory is historic for Afghanistan in many ways. Afghanistan has defeated Australia for the first time in the history of T20 World Cup, while this is Australia’s first defeat against Afghanistan in 6 international matches. After this victory, Afghanistan’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup have increased. If they defeat Bangladesh in their next match and Australia loses its next match to India, then the Afghanistan team can reach the semi-finals.

This T20 series is starting from January 11. Rashid Khan (Photo Source: Afghanistan has suffered a big setback before the T20 series against India. Afghanistan’s important spinner Rashid Khan will not play in the T20 series against India. Let us tell you, Afghanistan had announced its team for this T20 series in which Rashid Khan was also included. However, an official of the Afghanistan Cricket Board had already given a statement regarding this matter that the experienced spinner will not play in this series. Now he is completely out of the T20 series against India. Actually, Rashid Khan had back surgery in November last year and he is still not completely fit. In the press conference before the first match, Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran said that the absence of Rashid Khan has dealt a big blow to the team and his absence will definitely be missed in the upcoming series. Ibrahim Zadran said, ‘Rashid Khan is not fully fit yet and that is why he will not participate in the upcoming T20 series against India. We will also face a lot of problems without Rashid Khan but we are fully prepared for the upcoming challenges. Three match T20 series between India and Afghanistan is starting from January 11. Let us tell you, this T20 series is starting from January 11. Even though Afghanistan does not have Rashid Khan, they have many excellent bowlers in their team. Mujeeb Ur Rahman also has a lot of experience of playing cricket in India and he would definitely like to leave his mark in this series. The question arising in the minds of many people is that when Rashid Khan was not completely fit, then why was he included in the team earlier in this series. Rashid Khan is one of those players who has left his mark not only in T20 but also in ODI. Talking about the Indian team, Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the captain of the team. Not only this, experienced batsman Virat Kohli will also be seen playing in this series.
