T20 WC 2022: Mohammad Nabi steps down as captain after Afghanistan crash out

Mohammad Nabi, on Friday, November 4, stepped down as the skipper of the Afghanistan T20I team. The Afghans failed to win a single match in the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup 2022, having lost to England, Australia and Sri Lanka.

Afghanistan came close to beating Australia, but eventually lost by four runs at the Adelaide Oval despite Rashid Khan’s unbeaten 23-ball



48. After the match against the Aussies, Nabi released a statement where he put forth his decision to step down as the Afghan captain.

However, Nabi said that he would continue donning the national colours in the limited-overs format. Nabi’s second stint as Afghanistan captain started from the previous edition of the T20 World Cup in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
