Former Afghanistan skipper Mohammad Nabi has revealed that it was Kevin Pietersen who gave him the nickname ‘The President’. While speaking to the host broadcaster of ILT20.
“I got this name from Kevin Pietersen in 2016, when I was playing league games for the first time, and he was also playing with us. It was our last match, and it was critical for us to win because I was going on National Duty after that. In the last over, 16 runs were required, which I successfully chased.”
“While travelling back, Kevin Pieterson held the mic and said that I really played well in the tournament with them, played good matches and I am the future of Afghanistan because I have put up Afghanistan cricket from Zero to where it is. In the end, you will be the next president of Afghanistan.
Will Australia boycott Afghanistan in ODI World Cup? – Nabi
“It is not right to mix politics with sports. The same regime was there during the World Cup and why did they play us? Because they wanted two points. They wanted a good NRR to progress in the World Cup. What will they do in the World Cup in India? We will see if they will boycott us there? The reason they have given is not right,” Nabi told Cricbuzz.
