Very impressed with his batting, beating the crap out of Zaheer Khan right now. Will probably win this for Afghanistan. :)
 
He performed in the warm up games too...the only proper decent batsman in the side who can play proper cricketing shots, hence why i included him in the fantasy team lol
 
Good stuff, just 27 years of age so he's got a lot of Cricket ahead of him. Would be cool if they pick him in IPL.
 
Didn't mean to jinx him but nice that we got him out, big relief. :)
 
very very good player, he has lived in peshawar, pakistan for most of his life i wonder if he can play for pakistan, if so.. LETS GO AND GET THIS GUY, GREAT REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAILURE UMAR AKMAL!

+1 for stealing Nabi to play for Pakistan (but keep Umar..he will come good I am sure of it)
 
Mohammad Nabi and Hamid Hassan are Afghanistan's best players.
Nabi did well against England in the UAE earlier this year while playing for the ICC Combined Associate and Affiliate XI.
 
grew up in the pakistani circuit along with mohammad shahzad and hamid hasan


let three gems slip away, but three very important players for afghanistan and will be pivotal and the rise of the heart of asia
 
16.5 88.5 kph, Ashwin has got the dangerman, he pauses an eternity before delivering, waiting to see what the batsman will do, Nabi charges out to meet the delivery, looks to hammer it but edges it, loops towards mid-off where Rohit awaits 119/7

Poor fella.. that late-delivery-trick by Ashwin got him there, a downfall of Afgan innings started from there. btw His couple of drop catches were also very crucial for this defeat.
 
That was a very smart delivery from Ashwin, certainly the turning point. He was a big threat, hopefully will destroy England. :rondu

Was Hamid Hasan not playing, I didn't see his name on the scorecard?
 
Shapoor Zardan is another one to look out for. I was really impressed the way he set up sehwag. Great bowling action but he needs to get the seam right. :amir
 
Will be great if some AFG player gets an IPL contract, will be a big boost for their upcoming players.
 
Look to have a lot of class in his batting! He was quite dangerous yesterday for the indians!

No, he wasn't. He didn't even play the warm-up match I think.

He's in the squad but I'm not sure if he has fully recovered from the injury he got during the side match against England in the UAE in January this year. :(
 
whenever some minnow player does well ppl talk about giving him an IPL contract!

There are many other players in the world in which nabi can play, SLPL, BPL, BBL, FLT20. much better than being benched an entire IPL season
 
Played really well today. Really unlucky not to take his side over the line, no one else supported him.
 
Brilliant try today. Afghanistan need to send him up the order in place of the current trash they are sending
 
Afg team is now being run by some idiots. Nabi is their best bat but comes at no 6 .

Former Skipper Mohammad Nabi Appointed Member of Afghanistan Cricket Board

Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has been appointed as a member of the country’s cricket board.

The 35-year-old is among four new members who have replaced the outgoing members of Afghanistan Cricket Board’s nine-member panel.

“Following recommendations by ACB chairman Farhan Yusefzai, and subsequently approved by Patron in-chief, Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, four new board members were introduced today to the Afghanistan Cricket Board replacing four former members,” ACB said in a statement on Thursday.

Mohammad Nabi, consistently steps up when Afghanistan needs him. Notching his 17th half-century, he rescued his team from a precarious 50-5, showcasing his enduring skills at the age of 39. Currently batting at an impressive 61*(69) against Sri Lanka in 1st ODI.

Mohammad Nabi persists in delivering excellence! His second ODI century, the first since 2015.What a remarkable knock by Mohammad Nabi in the 1st ODI against Sri Lanka! He scored 136 (130). Afghanistan lost the game, but his efforts will be remembered for a long time, while chasing a huge target.

Finally the Shakib's fort has been breached. Mohammad Nabi has done it due to his splendid performance against Sri Lanka in the ongoing ODI series.

-----------------------------------

Afghanistan player Mohammad Nabi has ended Shakib Al Hasan’s long tenure as the number one all-rounder in the ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings after smashing a fine century in the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Pallekele.

Nabi, who has been the number one T20I all-rounder in the past, moved up to the top position in ODIs after his fighting 136 helped him become the oldest player to top the ICC ODI all-rounders’ table at the age of 39 years and one month. Sri Lanka’s Tillkaratne Dilshan held the previous record at 38 years and eight months when he was number one in June 2015.

Mohammad Nabi has now been part of wins against 45 different teams in his international career
 
Afghanistan’s Shakib. He has been around forever.
 
45 teams M. Nabi has been defeated so far!

Mohammad Nabi Not Thinking About Retirement, Hopes To Play 2026 T20 World Cup​


Veteran Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi is not thinking about hanging up his international boots soon and hopes to continue playing for the country till the 2026 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka. Nabi, who is leading Dambulla Sixers in the ongoing Lanka Premier League (LPL), wants to prolong his international career in the T20Is. The 39-year-old has planned to take a call on his ODI future after the Champions Trophy, adding that he wants to bid adieu the international cricket following the next T20 World Cup.

"For how long do I want to continue my cricket? Still, my body is working and I am running fast. I am fielding in the boundary taking catches well and doing bowling well. Still, I am doing well and I am trying to keep myself (fit) for as long as possible," Cricbuzz quoted Nabi as saying on Friday.

"Afghanistan team needs me as well at this stage but still may be Champions Trophy will be my last Champions Trophy in 50-over (format) and after that maybe one year and that's it," he said adding that he is keen to end his career with the next edition of ICC T20 World Cup.

"Hope so (about playing in the next T20 World Cup). If I am selected I will have to play," he said.

Nabi, who has been regarded as one of the strong pillars of the Afghanistan cricket team since making his debut in 2009, acknowledged the fact of getting old and highlighted his commitment to staying fit by sticking to a clean diet.

"I am not young as I am 40 years old man. Still, I try my best to train hard and do my recovery as quickly as possible and it all depends on your food and how you eat. How you eat clean and good food as it makes you more fit," said the veteran.

The 39-year-old added that franchise cricket exposure to Afghanistan players helped them a lot in the recent historic semi-final finish in the T20 World Cup.

"It gives us a lot of experience and also brings that experience to the national team and we share it with the youngsters. Afghanistan's T20 performance (in the World Cup) was really good. We beat big teams in the tournament.

"Yeah, first time in the semifinal and the tough four and that was a great achievement in my cricket life and hopefully more to come. As a team, we played and performed in the World Cup and everyone contributed a lot in this World Cup," he concluded.
