Manchester: Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib faced some uncomfortable questions over an alleged altercation between his teammates and a member of the public at a Manchester restaurant on Monday (June 17). After the ICC World Cup 2019 game against England, which Afghanistan lost by 150 runs, Naib was asked about the incident and he threatened to walk out of the press conference, on Tuesday (June 18). The match saw England captain Eoin Morgan smashing a world record 17 sixes en roue to 71-ball 148.

“No, no, I didn't know anything about them. So it's not a big issue for the team for me. So even I didn't know anything about them, so we have like manager and also we have a security officer. So you can ask — you can ask with them. So we didn't know about anything,' said Gulbadin Naib after Afghanistan's loss to England at the ICC World Cup 2019

Cardiff: Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib reflected on the team’s 34-run loss to Sri Lanka on Tuesday (June 4). The match was curtailed due to rain and the Afghans failed to chase the revised target of 187 after bowling out Sri Lanka for 201. The contest was reduced to 41 overs per side. Naib said they did not bowl well in the opening 10 overs where Sri Lanka scored 79/0. But despite this good start, the Afghans restricted the opposition.

With one of the most fearsome bowling attacks around, Gulbadin Naib is convinced Afghanistan can cause Australia problems if the conditions at the Bristol County Ground are in their favour in their opening match at the ICC World Cup 2019
