I’m Disappointed With Afghanistan Team – Javed Miandad

Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad criticized the Afghanistan cricket team for “bad behavior” after their Super 4 match against the Babar Azam-led team in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022.

“Pakistan played well but I’m disappointed with the team [Afghanistan] they defeated. Just because their behaviour is so bad nowadays. We brought them into the picture, they used to practice in Pakistan. And now, just see their language. How older are they? They haven’t played that much cricket, have they lost their minds?”

“Pakistan have been playing the game for 20 years now. They came here and learned the game. I’m the witness because I coached them. But I was baffled to see how they behaved as if they were superstars,” Miandad said while speaking to ‘Events & Happenings Sports’.

“Your cricket is nothing. Learn how to play the game. There are numerous aspects of cricket. If you are sincere, humble and give respect [to each other], your game will get better. “Warna is tareeke se tum lafootas cricket kheloge.”

“That can be refused if the team doesn’t want to play. If their behaviour isn’t good, they can deny playing against them. The ICC must look for a breach in Code of Conduct. Juma Juma aath din ke to bacche hain (They are relatively newcomers in international cricket). They need to understand this. One or two victories don’t make you a big side.”

“You only become successful when your intentions are good, your gestures are humble. Cricket doesn’t divide but unites two countries. If this behaviour persists, we shall stop supporting you and never be ready for any favours in the future,” he added.

Pakistan secured their place in the finals with a win over Afghanistan, knocking India out of the competition. They lost their next game to Sri Lanka by 5 wickets but will be hoping to bounce back even stronger in Sunday’s finals.
