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…
“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…

(Image Source: SportsStar) Left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore, who plays domestic cricket for Tamil Nadu, has made a surprising statement. He says that he is one of the best spinners currently in the country. After leading his team to the final of the Ranji Trophy, Sai Kishore played in IPL 2024, but he suffered a neck injury in the middle of the tournament and was away from cricket for a long time. After this, Sai Kishore appeared in the Tamil Nadu Premier League and performed well. After this, he got some break and he trained in it. Now he has made a lot of headlines on social media with his statement. Let us tell you that Sai Kishore will now be seen playing in the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament. R Sai Kishore gave a surprising statement Speaking to The New Indian Express, Sai Kishore said, “I feel very confident because I have never trained like this before. Maybe I would have trained like this before coming to the IPL. Waking up at 4 am, training and then bowling. I have not put in so many hours in the last four-five years as I have put in this pre-season. During the IPL, you don’t get time, you focus on recovery. After the TNPL, I got a 15-20 day break and I used it in the best way.” R Sai Kishore will be seen captaining the TNCA XI in the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament. He is going to play with players like Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Rahul Chahar in the Duleep Trophy. Sai Kishore, who has played three T20 Internationals, said, “I think I am one of the best spinners in the country. Put me in a Test match, I am ready. So, I am not too worried. Jadeja is there, I have never played with him. I have been with him at CSK but never played with him in the red ball format. It will be a good learning experience in terms of what he does. In saying that, I feel confident. So, I am more prepared than ever.”

The ICC is expected to take a decision soon, it is expected that the ICC will announce the new venue on August 20 when an online meeting of the directors is scheduled, although the agenda of this meeting will be different. The report states that a BCB official has asked the ICC for five days before taking any decision. If the ICC gives additional time, it will have to take a decision on the board meeting on August 20. It is being said that the ICC had to take a decision on the Women’s World Cup by August 15. Regarding hosting the T20 World Cup, Jai Shah said, “Next year we will host the 50-over Women’s World Cup. We do not want to give any indication that we want to host the World Cup continuously.” He said, “Bangladesh had asked BCCI if they could host this tournament, but I flatly refused.
