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…

Geoff Allardyce has confirmed that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be hosted in Pakistan. Geoff Allardice (Image Credit- Twitter X) International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Geoff Allardice has confirmed that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be hosted in Pakistan. He said that they are not planning to change the hosting of the upcoming tournament at all. Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be played in the months of February and March 2025. For the upcoming tournament, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also started work in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi stadiums. Construction work has started in all these three venues and the upcoming tournament can be organized here. For quite some time now, there have been reports that this tournament can be played outside Pakistan. Actually, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not want to send Team India to Pakistan. Not only this, PCB also believes that except India, all the teams participating in the tournament have already visited Pakistan. In such a situation, India has no solid reason to refuse to tour Pakistan. Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be held in Pakistan itself A few days ago, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla had revealed that Team India’s tour of Pakistan will depend on the instructions given to them by the Indian government. The upcoming tournament will see fierce clashes between India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. West Indies and Sri Lanka will not be seen participating in the Champions Trophy 2025. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) takes on this. The Indian team has never toured Pakistan since 2008. It is also possible that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament may be played in a hybrid model, although no confirmation can be made about this right now.

“Security is the first priority for India, not here…”, former Pakistani cricketer exposed his country
Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan from 19 February to 9 March next year. Whether India will be a part of this tournament or not is still a question mark. The BCCI says that the Indian government will decide whether the team will go to Pakistan or not. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Danish Kaneria has said that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan as the situation is not conducive. Kaneria also stressed that the safety of the players is the first priority, so the tournament should be held in a hybrid model. Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria, while talking on Sports Tak, said, Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I would say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan and Pakistan should think about it. The ICC will take its decision and most likely the Champions Trophy will be played in Dubai under a hybrid model. Safety of the players is the first priority, respect is the second priority. I think the BCCI is doing a great job. Whatever their decision will be, other countries will also have to accept it. I think it will be a hybrid model. India does not tour Pakistan due to security reasons. Asia Cup 2023 was jointly held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as India refused to tour Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board cancelled the first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Lahore as construction work is going on at the stadium. The match was then played at the Rawalpindi Stadium. The PCB says that the stadium is not equipped enough to hold ICC events. However, Danish Kaneria spoke about the issues and said that security is the biggest threat. They (PCB) are equipped, but they have to upgrade the infrastructure first. Security is the biggest concern, a big question mark…
Big claim as soon as Jay Shah became ICC President, India will go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy, 50% confirmed? Know how this happened?
Former Pakistan cricketer has assured that now no one can stop India from coming to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rashid Latif says Team India will come to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has been elected unopposed as ICC president. He will take over as ICC president from December 1. Instead of regretting this news, some former Pakistani cricketers have raised PCB’s hopes regarding the Champions Trophy. In this regard, a former Pakistani cricketer has assured that now no one can stop India from coming to Pakistan. Pakistan is very excited to host an ICC tournament on home soil for the first time in almost three decades. But no one still has an answer to the question whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan or not. Jai Shah as ICC President raises Pakistan’s hopes: Rumors are flying that BCCI does not want to send Team India to Pakistan. According to media reports, India wants to play its matches at a neutral venue. Amidst all this, Secretary Jay Shah was elected unopposed as the new President of the ICC. After this, many fans have predicted that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan under any circumstances. But on the other hand, Pakistan’s hopes have doubled with this news. The reason for this has been explained in detail by Pakistan’s former captain Rashid Latif. What did Rashid Latif say? Rashid Latif, while talking on the YouTube channel ‘Caught Behind’, said, “If Jay Shah is elected unopposed, it means that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has supported him. I think it is unlikely that he will sign the declaration of India not going to Pakistan. I think we have got 50 percent confirmation that the Indian team is coming to Pakistan. Jay Shah’s work has been beneficial for cricket so far, be it for BCCI or ICC.”
Former Pakistani captain made a big statement, said- ICC Chairman Jay Shah should show emotion and send India to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy
Pakistan has the hosting rights for Champions Trophy 2025. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has been elected ICC chairman. Shah’s appointment has left the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wondering about the future of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that this time the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy are with Pakistan. However, it is not yet confirmed whether India will tour Pakistan for this multi-nation tournament or not? Also, looking at the current political relations between the two countries, it seems that India will hardly go to Pakistan. If this happens, then once again the Champions Trophy can be held in a hybrid format like the Asia Cup. It is worth noting that at that time the hosting rights were with Pakistan, but India played all its matches including the final in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, now after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman, a big statement has come from former Pakistani captain and legendary batsman Younis Khan. Younis believes that Shah will maintain the spirit of sportsmanship and will help India tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Younis Khan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman recently, Younis Khan, quoting Cricket Pakistan, said- Jay Shah becoming the ICC chief should lead to the rise of cricket. Shah needs to show sportsmanship, because with the good initiative of the ICC chief, India can come to Pakistan to play cricket, in the same way Pakistan can also tour India. Well, now it remains to be seen whether India will tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not? However, looking at the current scenario, it seems impossible.

Let us tell you that Asia Cup 2023 was played under the joint hosting of Pakistan and Sri Lanka due to the demand of BCCI. Meanwhile, former Pakistani player Basit Ali says that there will be a lot of attention on security in the country before the Champions Trophy. Because if any incident happens, then the hosting rights can be taken back from Pakistan. Basit Ali also stressed that foreign teams should get the same security as the Prime Minister and President. There should not be even a small breach in security- Basit Ali Speaking on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said, The Champions Trophy is going to be held in Pakistan and after Bangladesh, teams like England and West Indies are also going to tour, so we have to pay attention to security. God forbid, if any incident happens during these tours then the Champions Trophy will not be played here. Our soldiers are getting martyred in Balochistan and Peshawar, only the government can answer why this is happening, but this is wrong. The veteran player further said, We should ensure that there is not even a small breach in security. Foreign teams should get the same security as our Prime Minister and President. I am sure, Mohsin Naqvi will be aware of these things. Let us tell you, in 2009, terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore. After this incident, ICC took away the rights of hosting the 2011 World Cup from Pakistan. In such a situation Ahead of the Champions Trophy, Bangladesh and England’s tour of Pakistan will serve as a litmus test for security issues in the country.

IND vs SL: Is this player’s last ODI for Team India? Champions Trophy dream shattered
Shivam Dubey’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dubey has played 4 ODI matches for India so far. In this, he has scored 43 runs and taken one wicket at a poor average of 10.75. Shivam Dubey (Source X) On 8 August, despite having star players, the strong Indian team had to face a humiliating defeat of 0-2 in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. With this, India has lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka after 27 years. Team India included young players as well as veteran players. But, they could not perform well in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Amidst all this, the question has arisen whether any player of Team India has played the last ODI match of his career. Shivam Dube is coming under the scanner of this question. Did Shivam Dubey play his last ODI for India? The Indian player was given a chance to play continuously in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, this player has broken the trust of Team India coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma with his flop performance. Now there are rumors that this was Shivam Dubey’s last ODI match for India. It is almost impossible for Dubey to get a chance in India’s ODI team in the future. How was Shivam Dubey’s performance on the Sri Lanka tour? All-rounder Shivam Dubey has performed poorly in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Shivam Dubey could not get success in both bowling and batting. Shivam Dubey missed the chance to become the hero of the team by scoring 25, 0 and 9 runs in the three matches of the ODI series. Shivam Dubey could not perform as claimed in bowling as well. On the basis of all these statistics, it is doubtful that Shivam Dubey will get a chance in the ODI team. It will be difficult if Hardik Pandya comes Hardik Pandya did not play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Due to this, Shivam Dubey was given a chance as an all-rounder in the ODI team. But Shivam Dubey performed poorly and could not maintain the trust of the coach and captain. In such a situation, if Hardik returns to Team India’s ODI team, Shivam Dubey will lose his place. It is very difficult for Shivam Dubey to remain in the ODI team along with Hardik. Shivam Dubey may miss the golden opportunity of Champions Trophy The Champions Trophy tournament will be held in February-March 2025 next year. Team India will play the next ODI match in this tournament. Hardik Pandya will play as an all-rounder for Team India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and Ravindra Jadeja will get a chance in the top order. In such a situation, players like Shivam Dubey, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant may miss out due to their poor performance. Especially Shivam Dube’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dube has played 4 ODI matches for India so…
