Jonathan Trott, the head coach of Afghanistan, is eagerly anticipating facing India in their opening Super 8 fixture. Trott believes that his team’s strength lies in day games and hopes to make the most of the conditions against India. Despite being considered underdogs, Trott and his team are confident in their abilities to take on any challenge that comes their way.
Trott expressed excitement about playing against India, who are considered one of the favorites in the tournament. He believes that Afghanistan should not be underestimated and is fully prepared for the battle ahead. While spinners have traditionally been Afghanistan’s key strength, left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi has been their standout bowler in this tournament. With Farooqi leading the wicket-takers’ charts, Trott sees Afghanistan as a more well-rounded side.
He believes that the team is capable of taking wickets in various conditions, whether it be swing, seam or spin. Afghanistan’s depth in both spin and pace bowling gives them confidence heading into the match against India. Trott feels that with their impressive performance so far and with Farooqi leading from the front, they are ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
