Nabi Plans To Play With His Son For Afghanistan
Meanwhile, Nabi who was planning to retire from international cricket after the Champions Trophy has taken a U-turn on his call. He expressed his desire to play along with his son for the national team.
“These might not be my last ODIs (the Champions Trophy), and I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience. I’ve discussed with the senior players, and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we’ll see. It will depend on my fitness. It’s my dream (to play together for the country), and hopefully we can do it. He (Eisakhil) is doing very well. He is a hard worker, and I’m also pushing him to work," Nabi was quoted as saying by ICC.
