overview

The progression of Afghanistan from an Associate nation to a full-time member has been remarkable. On their journey, they have produced some skilful cricketers. They will be a tricky team to face for any side in the tournament. Though they had a poor outing in the last World Cup in England, conditions this time will be a lot more favourable to their world-class spinners Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi. In the pace department, they have Fazalhaq Farooqi, who is good both with the new ball and at the back end of an innings.

Their bowling will be their massive strength. In the batting department, they have Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top who can take the game away from any opposition on a given day. However, skipper Hasmatullah Shahidi’s contributions in the middle order, along with those of others, will be crucial for Afghanistan to have a decent campaign. When is Afghanistan’s first World Cup match? Afghanistan will start their World Cup campaign against Bangladesh on October 7 at the MCA Stadium in Pune. When will Afghanistan play hosts India in the World Cup? Afghanistan will clash against India on October 11 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Who is the head coach of the Afghanistan cricket team? England’s Jonathan Trott is the coach of the Afghanistan cricket team. How far can Afghanistan go? If they can reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, it would be a massive achievement. But even if they can finish mid-table, it would be a positive for the side. How many World Cups has Afghanistan won? Afghanistan has not won any World Cup yet.
