Tension rising around Afghan squad as World Cup losses mount

Associated Press  

MANCHESTER, England — The losses are mounting up for Phil Simmons and the Afghanistan team at the Cricket World Cup, and so is the level of off-field tension. Simmons, a former West Indies allrounder who took over the Afghan national team in 2017, did describe speculation he’d asked to renew his contract beyond the World Cup as “fake news.” Afghanistan was on a high entering the tournament after wins over the West Indies in the World Cup qualifiers, and a tie with India at last year’s Asian Cup. All-rounder Mohammad Nabi posted on social media that a World Cup wasn’t the time to change captains, particularly after the rise of Afghan cricket in the previous four years. Afghanistan’s leading bowler Rashid conceded a World Cup record 110 runs against England, which tallied a tournament-high total of 397-6 at Manchester.
