‘Our mindset is to always play daringly’

Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi said his team will shrug off political and travel turmoil to thrive at the T20 World Cup by remaining true to their philosophy of "daring cricket".

Since the return of the Taliban in the country, Afghanistan briefly faced the possibility of being banned from the tournament if the women's game was discontinued.

 "The team is brilliant, they have been preparing for the last one and a half months," said Nabi. "There was a little bit of a struggle on visas, so they didn't arrive in the UAE early. They were practising in Qatar." Nabi vowed his team will not change their aggressive style. "This is our mindset to always play daringly," said Nabi
