With four wins, this has been the most successful World Cup campaign for Afghanistan and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi hopes that going forward Afghanistan Cricket Board and the ICC will ensure that the team plays more ODIs.
“There will be 50-over cricket, I’m expecting that. I hope that the ICC also makes a good call on it because 50-over cricket is also important. Right now, there are too many leagues, too many T20 cricket. I think, amid that, 50 overs and Test cricket are more important,” Shahidi said on Thursday.
Since August 2021, Afghanistan has featured in 31 ODIs, of which it lost 15 and one had no result. Around the same time, India featured in 53 ODIs, while Australia’s tally was 36.
