India Today  

Afghanistan defeated defending champions England in their group-stage match at the ODI World Cup 2023 on Sunday 15 October. ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023: Full Coverage Speaking after the match, Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott called it a significant moment in the history of Afghan cricket and hoped that this would lead to better things in the future. But I think it's important that the guys enjoy it but also take stock and realise when they get a certain amount of things right in the 50 overs or the 100 overs completely, what they can achieve, and the level of team that they can put under pressure and compete with and win cricket matches," Trott said in the post match press conference in Delhi. This was the first time in three ODI World Cups, that Afghanistan were able to defeat a Test playing nation, and that too England, who are the defending champions in both white ball formats.
