Afghstan captain Gulbadin Naib, who was given the leadership duty for one-day international (ODI) cricket in early April succeeding Asghar Afghan, said the latter is still his captain."Asghar Afghan is still my captain.

He's not just another player for me, he's still my captain right now," ICC quoted Naib as saying.Afghstan Cricket Board (ACB) had removed Afghan as the national team's captain and named three different captains across three formats.

I remember our last appearance in the World Cup in 2015. I just played one game, and I was really excited just to be a part of the squad. Now, the ACB have announced me as the captain for this World Cup. It's a big opportunity for me,' Naib said."Compared to the last two-three years, we have a much better side now. We have world-class spinners like Rashid, Nabi and Mujeeb [Ur Rahman], and in the batting department, we have guys like [Mohammad] Shahzad and Rahmat Shah," he added.Afghstan will face Australia in their first World Cup 2019 clash on June 1.( With inputs from ANI )
