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…

However, he also praised Rohit for bringing a different approach to captaincy. They said that, “India kept three spinners in the team. I was a bit surprised because there were only two fast bowlers and Shivam Dubey was with them. However, when Rohit Sharma comes as captain, suddenly two things change.” The former India opener said that the experienced captain included Shivam Dubey as an all-rounder in the lineup and also used him effectively. Chopra said that, “First of all, the Indian team plays with an XI which has a bowler in the top six and that bowler also gets a chance to bowl. That was fantastic. As soon as one wicket fell, he gave the next over to Shivam Dubey.” Chopra said that this move ensured that Rohit has plenty of bowling options available for the death overs. He further said that, “Shivam Dubey dismissed Ibrahim Zadran in that over. He was then stopped and later brought in from the other end so that he could get another over. When they did that, it made sure there were a lot of options available at the end.” Also read: Suresh Raina does not want to see Virat opening in T20
