Asia Cup-2022 was very exciting. This year the Asia Cup was played in T20 format. And, this season, Afghanistan were seen as a ‘dark horse’ but lost to Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India in the Super-4 round and were knocked out of the tournament. But Mohammad Nabi, the captain of the Afghanistan cricket team, said with full positivity, “As a team, we showed in the Asia Cup that Afghanistan have great batsmen, bowlers and fielders. We are known to defend total scores. Not to chase the total. Our team also looks balanced.
Significantly, the biggest strength of the Afghanistan cricket team is its captain Mohammad Nabi, dangerous spinner Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Qais Ahmed. These players have participated in various T20 leagues around the world. He also has great experience with the pitches of Australia while playing in the Big Bash League.

These players know how to stop runs and take wickets on Australian pitches. This is the reason why former New Zealand cricket team coach Mike Hesson is apprehensive that Afghanistan’s spin bowlers have the ability to remind New Zealand of Nani. He said in a statement, “I am a little cautious about Afghanistan and New Zealand (NZ vs AFG World Cup, 2022) to be played in Melbourne, because the pitch in Melbourne takes turns and the spinners of Afghanistan are excellent. It will be a tough match for the ‘Black Caps’ (the team from New Zealand).”
Remind you that apart from attacking Afghanistan with excellent spin attack, there are also dangerous seamers like Fazlhaq Farooqui and Farid Ahmed.
