Afghanistan’s star all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has hailed his team associates’ efforts as “amazing” as his side secured their first-ever Test win over Ireland. The result made the Afghans the second fastest facet to report a Test win, doing so in only their 2d game within the longest format. “It’s an ancient day for the whole of Afghanistan,” said Nabi. “Every layout is unique. Test cricket has a one-of-a-kind flavor to it. How our guys accomplished in batting and bowling, the form of comebacks that we did, and how Rahmat Shah and Ihsanullah batted became splendid. Rashid’s spell the day gone by, the primary time taking five wickets, changed into a count of incredible pride. It suggests we’re ready for Test cricket.
The result changed, which is especially noteworthy considering how Afghanistan struggled in their first Test when India took all 20 wickets in periods to report an innings victory. However, Nabi felt his side might continually improve at a few levels, pointing to their magnificent record in the first-rate Intercontinental Cup competition. Afghanistan participated in the opposition in three instances, in 2009-10, 2011-13, and 2015-17, and lost just a single game throughout all three campaigns.
They are the number-one ranked Test side, and they’re also fine in domestic conditions,” he said of India. “That’s why we lost the game in two days. When you look at the Intercontinental Cup games of Afghanistan, we never lost any video games except in the final opposition to Ireland [in 2013]. All other video games we won or have been drawn. It means we’re a good crew in Tests as well.
Nabi also thinks that Afghanistan could compete for more possibilities in the future. Tests in opposition to different teams need to be forthcoming. “When you win, the groups will inform you to come and play with them,” he stated. “Nobody performs a vulnerable group. They would assume that Afghanistan is issusceptible, but not so much that we can’t combat them now. We have the world’s satisfactory spinners and are looking to focus on our batting line-up. If we can place a perfect score on the board, we are assured of thrashing any crew in the world.
