What can Rashid Khan do when the Afghanistan batsmen only managed to score 116 runs in a 50 overs game? Even the players like Rashid Khan needs some score to defend, a score where the other team can be put under pressure while chasing. Rashid Khan bowled four overs in this match and conceded 21 runs and no wickets. Though this was good bowling seeing the context of the match, they need wickets which Afghanistan bowlers were not able to get.
Also, when we talk about Afghanistan, only Rashid Khan comes to mind. They need more match winners as the cricket team never won matches on the performance of a single person.
Afghan batting has shown no improvement over the years. Mohammad Shahzad was there a few years ago, but he was very volatile. Now they have young players like Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz who are very inconsistent, and players like Mohammad Nabi who are out of form. And that is the reason why they are losing so many matches despite having some of the best spin bowlers in the world. I don't know much about the domestic cricket system in Afghanistan. Low quality domestic cricket maybe one of the reasons behind this.
@Sithara007 I believe that the player’s are impacted psychologically due to their home condition’s cause they were performing decent before the invasion took place. Furthermore despite minimal facilities they do have lots of talented player’s but lack of strategy and proper guidance is effecting their growth hence I feel that they can improve a lot if they’re provided good facilities.
