Kabir Khan News

Afghanistan coach Kabir is set to be celebrating on Friday when his side tackle Kenya in the concluding World Cricket League (WCL) qualifier.

Khan said India needed to shed its psyche of looking at Afghanistan cricket as being similar to Pakistan cricket.

Afghanistan coach Kabir Khan has credited his team's respectable performance against India in the World Twenty20 opener to the players who "stuck by each other during difficult times."

Missing out on the Asia Cup has added to Afghanistan's motivation to win the World Twenty20 qualifier for another shot at cricket's major teams.

The PCB has said it will try to retain Aaqib Javed in the national team's support staff though he has been shortlisted for the job of UAE coach. Javed's contract with the PCB as Pakistan's bowling coach ends on February 29.

Afghanistan coach Rashid Latif has rubbished reports that his side's semifinal match against Pakistan in last month's Guangzhou Asian Games was fixed.

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif resigned on Tuesday as a coach at the national cricket academy over spot-fixing comments.
