Key Takeaways from Andrew Puttick on Afghanistan's ODI Preparation

Afghanistan will focus on improving strike rotation against finger spinners in their upcoming three-match ODIs against Zimbabwe, starting from December 17.

Rotation of Strike Against Finger Spinners

  • We need to improve the rotations (strike) against accurate finger spin.
  • Afghanistan generally plays wrist spin well and clears boundaries easily, but needs to work on strike rotation.

Smart Cricket and Team Dynamics

  • Smart cricket is about having control, reading situations, and maintaining composure.
  • The presence of Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan down the order provides balance and experience.
  • Nabi and Rashid are skilled batters who can contribute to the team's batting and provide leadership.

Bowlers' Role in Batting

  • It's essential for bowlers to contribute with the bat, especially from the lower order.
  • This can help with selection and give the team an edge.

Team Motivation and Preparation

  • The team is motivated to improve and play their best cricket.
  • They will target to play good cricket, taking every game as an opportunity to learn and grow.
  • The Champions Trophy is a key focus, and the team will try to play their best cricket on the tour.
