Playing ILT20 A Key Boost For Afghanistan Players Ahead Of T20 WC, Says DC All-rounder Nabi
T20 World Cup: Mohammad Nabi, the veteran Afghanistan all-rounder currently playing for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20, said the players’ participation from his country in the competition is a key boost, citing that it’s a platform to correct their errors made in the Asia Cup and serves as motivation to perform well ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup.
Nabi has featured in 145 T20I matches for Afghanistan, amassing 2417 runs and picking 104 wickets. He has been a part of Afghanistan’s squad since the country first appeared in the T20 World Cup in 2010, and had their best-ever performance by reaching the semi-finals in the 2024 edition of the competition.
“Most Afghanistan players are playing in ILT20 and performing well. It gives us a lot of motivation to play in a high-level league before the T20 World Cup. We also have a series against the West Indies before the tournament happens. Those three T20I games will help us build a strong combination,” Nabi told IANS in an exclusive conversation from Dubai.
