Afghan, who is currently the captain in all three formats of the game, is considered one of the best cricketers of his country. The middle order batsman has represented Afghanistan in 111 ODIs, 69 T20Is and 4 Tests with remarkable success. In ODIs, he has scored 2356 runs at an average of 24.54 and in T20Is, he has made 1248 runs at an average of 21.15. In the four Test matches that he has played, he has 249 runs scored at an average of 35.57. He is also a medium fast bowler who has often helped his team with some decent bowling spells.

Afghan has led his country in more than a hundred international matches and is the most experienced player of his side. However, in April 2019, just before the ICC World Cup, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had replaced him with Gulbadin Naib as the captain of the side. The move proved too costly to the team as they lost all of their matches in the tournament.

Following the debacle, Rashid Khan, the young spinner, was then handed over the captaincy across all three formats. This too did not work well. Even Nabi and Rashid had been vocal in their criticism of the board’s decision.

Finally, in December last year, Afghan was reappointed as the captain of the Afghanistan team for all three formats. He was leading his side on the tour to India in March in which Ireland had also participated.
