Afghanistan’s performance will be considered as a major takeaway from this T20 World Championship. Team full of potential champions led by a true champion! They took the fast track to reach the top in 10 years when it normally takes teams 30/40 years. 🙇🙇🙇

A real fire for the Proteas! It was an interesting World Cup for the Proteas. You could say a lot of things went their way, but that’s what tournament cricket is all about. Another big push! We believe in it!
