• Asghar Afghan retires from international cricket.
• A visibly emotional Afghan wiped tears from his eyes.
• "I want to give chance to youngsters. I think this is a good opportunity for that," he says.

Pakistan match was too much to handle.


Former Afghanistan captain Asghar Afghan revealed Sunday that he decided to retire suddenly from international cricket because the Pakistan defeat "hurt too much".

Wiping tears from his eyes, Asghar Afghan answered the question on everyone's minds: Why did he choose to retire in the middle of the T20 World Cup?

"In the last match [against Pakistan], we were hurt too much, and that's why I decided to retire," he said.

Afghan said one of the reasons he was hanging up his boots was so young Afghanistan players could have a chance to earn laurels for their team.

"I want to give chance to youngsters. I think this is a good opportunity for that. Most people are asking me why now, but it's something I cannot explain," he said.

Afghan said it was difficult for him to point towards a single memorable moment, adding that there were plenty.

Asghar scored a quick 31 runs off 23 balls in his last international match for Afghanistan. His side won the game against Namibia by 62 runs after their loss to Pakistan on Friday.

Afghanistan played well against Pakistan, and at one point in time, even put the green shirts under pressure. However, a late Asif Ali blitz drew the curtains on Afghanistan, as the pinch-hitter hit four sixes in one over to ensure Pakistan won the game.

Are Afghans really this brittle and mentally weak? I thought they were supposed to be the toughest people on earth?

Meanwhile other Afghan Cricketers realise the reality and show sportsmanship.

And then some here were preaching bhai chara here with Aghwanis. This is the level of hate in their hearts that one defeat at Pak team tore then a new one. Now imagine what would they have done if they had won. These people literally lived amongst us but still level of hate they have will never go away. Hazrat Ali RA said Jis pay Ehsaan karo uskay shar say bacho. These Afghanis are a classic example of it.

I think he knows he cant go back to Afghanistan and now even Pakistan as he was really aggressive against Pakistan before the match

he will try to stay in Dubai or go west as asylum seeker andbecome Uber or just eat driver

very immature of him i think, if he had to do it he should have done it after the tournament, Nabi (Capt Afghanistan) is supporting the team on his own from what I have heard, they are number 2 on the points table and ahead of India, despite of all that he decided to ditch his team mates right in the middle of things.

 

[CatSultan]

stupid cry babies. Its just a game. Grow up. Also, They are still in the tournament. That loss didn't affect them too much.
