Afg vs Nam - 27th Match, Abu Dhabi

Emotional Asghar retires mid-tournament

Abu Dhabi: It was also a notable match for former Afghanistan captain Afghan, who announced on Saturday that he would be retiring after this fixture.

Emotion came after the 33-year-old's dismissal when his own team-mates formed a tunnel with their bats as he left the field.

Afghan, who finishes with 195 appearances for Afghanistan in a 12-year career, looked close to tears in an interview after his side's batting innings.

He was seen crying in the dressing room soon after and at the end he was carried from the field on the shoulders of his team-mates.

"I am retiring because I want to give the youngsters a chance," he said.
