Mohammad Nabi on Sunday announced to step down as the captain of the Afghanistan national cricket team.
The Afghanitan Cricket Board (ACB) said Mohammad Nabi has tendered his formal resignation to the cricket board and the final decision will be announced through a press conference on Monday.
In the meantime, Nabi said he was feeling proud that the national team played in the 2015 cricket world Cup under his captaincy.
However, he said the decision to step down as the national team captain was due to the recent performance of the team and particularly his out of form status.
In his resignation letter to the ACB, Nabi said “I would like to request you to accept my resignation as a captain and allow me to continue to play as a team player. I will sincerely provide and share my captaincy experience with the new captain.”
“At the end, I would like to thank ACB, my colleagues and fans inside and outside Afghanistan who supported me all the time,” Nabi added.
Nabi has served as the national team captain for more than two years.
