Gulbadin Naib alleged that some players deliberately underperformed in the 2019 World Cup -- where Afghanistan lost all their nine matches.
Afghanistan failed to win even a single game out of all the nine matches they played in the group stage of the tournament and ended at the bottom of the points table.
Former Afghanistan skipper Gulbadin Naib has targetted senior cricketers for the poor show of Afghanistan team in the World Cup and claimed that 'they were laughing instead of being sad after defeats.'
Bumrah's second spell, in which he took two wickets in a single over, tilted the game in favour of India, according to Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib.
Rashid Khan made the statement when asked if his relationship with skipper Gulbadin Naib has strained for voicing his displeasure at the change of captaincy.
Afghanistan's game plan isn't a secret, with its bowling attack built around a spin department led by Rashid Khan.
Rashid Khan did not come out to bowl after being hit on the head by a sharp Lockie Ferguson bouncer in the first innings.
Afghanistan bowlers conceded 35 extras, which hurt them in the end as they lost by 34 runs.
Najibullah Zadran was particularly impressive with the bat against and Gulbadin believes his side are more than capable of posting a big total against Sri Lanka.
After Afghan was sacked, Naib was given the charge for ODI while Rahmat Shah and Rashid Khan were given the charge for Test side and T20I, respectively.
It marked the end of Asghar Afghan's four-year stint as captain of the Afghanistan team across the three formats.
