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…
Rashid Khan created history on his birthday, became the first bowler in the world to do so
Rashid Khan took five wickets in the second ODI against South Africa. AFG vs SA (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan’s legendary leg spinner Rashid Khan celebrated his 26th birthday yesterday, i.e. 20 September. On his birthday, he did a feat which no bowler has been able to do in the 53-year history of ODI cricket. Afghanistan’s team was face to face against South Africa on Friday in the second match of the three-match ODI series. In this match, they registered a big win by 177 runs. Rashid Khan played the most important role in Afghanistan’s victory. He sent not one or two but five African batsmen to the pavilion in this match. With this, Rashid Khan became the first bowler in the world to take a 5-wicket haul in ODIs on his birthday. Before him, two bowlers had taken 4 wickets each on their birthdays. Before Rashid Khan, the record for the best performance on birthday in ODI cricket was in the name of South African fast bowler Vernon Philander. In 2007, he took four wickets for just 12 runs against Ireland. In 2010, Stuart Broad took four wickets for 44 runs against Australia. Best bowling figures on your birthday in ODI cricket 5/19- Rashid Khan v South Africa, Sharjah, 2024* 4/12- Vernon Philander v Ireland, Belfast, 2007 4/44- Stuart Broad v Australia, Cardiff, 2010 After winning the toss and batting first, Afghanistan scored 311 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs on the basis of a century by Rahmanullah Gurbaz. In this match, Gurbaz scored the 7th century of his ODI career and scored 105 runs in 110 balls with the help of 10 fours and 3 towering sixes. South Africa, chasing a target of 312 runs, collapsed to just 134 runs in 34.2 overs in front of Afghanistan’s devastating bowling. No African batsman could touch the 40-run mark, while 5 batsmen were out on single digits. South Africa’s top scorer was captain Temba Bavuma, who played an innings of 38 runs.

AFG vs NZ: Poor facilities and wet outfield in Greater Noida forced the one-off Test to be called off
Not a single ball could be bowled in this entire Test match and both the teams had to face a lot of problems in all the 5 days. AFG vs NZ (Pic Source-X) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has been cancelled due to bad weather, wet outfield and poor facilities. Not a single ball could be bowled in this entire Test match and both the teams had to face a lot of problems in all the 5 days. After there was no play for the first four days, all the cricket fans were expecting to see a great match between these two teams on the fifth day, but due to rain, neither the match started nor the toss took place at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida. Let us tell you that, there was rain for a short time on the first day of the only Test, after which it could not be fixed due to poor facilities. The match officials had no other option but to cancel this match. The Afghanistan Cricket Board gave this update today i.e. on 13 September, ‘It is still raining in Greater Noida and due to continuous rain, the fifth and final day’s play between Afghanistan and New Zealand has also been cancelled by the match officials.’ From the very beginning, many questions were raised about the schedule and ground of the Afghanistan Cricket Board. Even before this match, the Afghanistan team has played very few international test matches. Not only this, it was a very disappointing thing for the New Zealand team as well. South Africa now has to play a 3 match ODI series against Afghanistan Now South Africa has to play a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in the UAE, which starts on September 18. Not only this, the New Zealand team will be seen playing Test series against Sri Lanka and India. The New Zealand team will tour Sri Lanka and the two-match Test series will begin from September 18.

These 7 Tests in cricket history, which were cancelled without even a single ball being bowled
infoNew Zealand vs Afghanistan. (Photo Source: X(TWitter/BlackCapz) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was to be played in Greater Noida from September 9. But due to rain, wet outfield and poor arrangements, not a single ball could be bowled in the first 4 days. The toss could not even take place during the four days of the match. Now it seems quite possible that this match will now be cancelled without a toss. If this match is cancelled without a ball being bowled, then the name of this match will be recorded in history. This will be the 8th such test match in cricket history which will be cancelled without a ball being bowled. Before this, there have been 7 such matches which have been cancelled without a ball being bowled. The first such case happened in 1890, when the Old Trafford test match between Australia and England was cancelled. While in a similar manner, the last and 7th test match was cancelled in 1998. In this article, we will tell you about those seven Test matches which were cancelled without a toss. Let us tell you which are those seven matches. Test No.: 34 – Australia vs England, Old Trafford, Manchester Test number 34 was the first match to be cancelled due to rain. The toss of this match did not even take place. Test No.: 264 – Australia v England, Old Trafford, Manchester Test number 264a was also cancelled due to rain. There was no toss. Test No.: 675 – Australia vs England, Melbourne Cricket Ground During Test No. 675a, it started to rain just as the players were entering the field. Discussions took place between the MCC manager, the Australian Board and 2 MCC officials and it was concluded that a limited overs match should be played and the match was subsequently declared the first ODI. Test No: 1113 – New Zealand v Pakistan, Carisbrook, Dunedin In Test No. 1113a, due to heavy rain, the match was abandoned on 3 February 1989. Also, it was planned that an ODI would be played on 6 February 1989 and the ODI was played as scheduled. Test No.: 1140 – England v West Indies, Bourda, Georgetown, Guyana Test number 1140a was cancelled due to rain. On the 5th day of this match, an ODI match was played. Test No.: 1434 – Pakistan vs Zimbabwe, Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad The Pakistan vs Zimbabwe Test was abandoned without a toss taking place. Test No.: 1434 – New Zealand v India, Carisbrook, Dunedin Test No. 1434B was abandoned on day 3. It was decided that an unofficial one-day match would be played on the fourth day. Beta Beta Features
AFG vs NZ: Toss did not happen even on the third day, game was cancelled due to rain, match may be cancelled
The third day’s match was cancelled due to rain. infoNew Zealand vs Afghanistan. (Photo Source: X(TWitter/BlackCapz) The only Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand was to be played at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida, but in the three-day game, the toss has not even taken place. Due to rain and bad outfield, the game was spoiled on the first and second day, while the same happened on the third day. There was not much rain at night, but on the third day, rain started from the morning itself. Due to this, the officials cancelled the third day’s play at the beginning of the third day itself. In this way, the coin could not be tossed on the third day as well. Now the chances of this match happening are very less and there is a high chance that the match may be cancelled. This test match was to be played from 9 September but it rained that night so the match did not start at its scheduled time. Although the pitch was fine for the match, some parts of the outfield were flooded. AFG vs NZ: Test match did not start despite the efforts of the ground staff The ground staff tried their best to start the match, but they were unsuccessful. The umpires and match officials inspected the pitch and the ground several times, but despite several inspections, the toss could not be conducted in this match. On the second day, the ground staff used a new trick and wherever there was water on the ground, the grass and land was dug out and the grass from the practice ground was planted there. But still nothing special was achieved from this. Despite the grass being planted, there was water in some parts and the ground was not suitable for playing the match. Due to this, the match was cancelled on the second day as well. The match was expected to start on the third day, but the ground had become wet again due to the rain at night. More than half of the ground was covered, but still there was water in many parts. Apart from this, there was heavy rain at the time of the match starting on the third day and the situation became even worse. Due to this, the third day’s play had to be canceled. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has said that if the conditions are good on the fourth day, then the match will start at 9 o’clock and 98 overs will be played. But this does not seem possible right now.
