The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has made a big announcement in preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has appointed former West Indian cricketing legend and T20 World Cup winner, Dwayne Bravo, as the Bowling Consultant for the National Cricket Team.

Afghanistan displayed strong performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 in India last year. The team managed to beat teams like England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in the ICC tournament.

The Afghanistan Cricket Team, led by Rashid Khan, aims to replicate their success in the Caribbean Islands and the United States of America (USA) this summer. Afghanistan is placed in Group C at the T20 World Cup 2024, alongside co-hosts in the West Indies, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Uganda.
