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.

Afghanistan had started to show some improvement. What the problem is that the situation in Afghanistan. They basically did not have any cricket board. They had to play underfunding of a single player for some time and that is never a good sign for any cricket team. We also know that the political situation in Afghanistan is very unstable right now. Afghanistan is not being able to improve because of that. You cannot expect to improve in cricket if you have political problems in the country. Basically Afghanistan and Pakistan both are going through a big problematic period.

Afghanistan have got the Afghanistan cricket board that is being found in 1995. It became the full member of the ICC during the year 2017. At the beginning cricket is banned and by the year 2000 it got exception. Amidst all the political and other problems, the country slowly progressed and have reached a better position. The team have got the problem of playing without much support from the government. Pakistan's situation is far better and the government is really supportive as it is one among the way through which the government is able to generate revenue.
