Before the World Cup, Afghanistan made a move, included former Indian player in the team; given a big responsibility

Just before the start of the ICC World Cup 2023, the Afghanistan cricket team made a big move. Afghanistan has included former Indian player Ajay Jadeja in the team as a mentor for the World Cup. Afghanistan Cricket Board itself has given this information. Jadeja has a lot of experience and is very well aware of the conditions in India.

Adding Ajay Jadeja to the team as a mentor can be of great benefit to the Afghanistan cricket team. Ajay Jadeja is counted among the best batsmen in India. Along with this, he also has a very good understanding of this game. As a player, Ajay Jadeja also played three World Cups for India.

He was a part of the Indian team in the years 1992, 1996, and 1999 World Cup. Ajay Jadeja played a total of 196 international matches for India. During this period, 5,359 runs came from his bat at an average of 37.47. Jadeja scored six centuries and 30 fifties during his career.

The Afghanistan team is busy preparing in full swing to show its strength in the World Cup 2023. However, the team's first practice match against South Africa was washed out due to rain. Afghanistan will face Sri Lanka in its second practice match on October 3.

India's conditions will be very much liked by the Afghanistan team. Afghanistan's spinners can make life miserable for batsmen from all over the world on Indian pitches. Along with this, the team's batsman has also shown strong performance in the recent past. Afghanistan has to play its first match in the World Cup 2023 against Bangladesh on 7 October.
