There is not much that the board can do (WICB). Their financials are very limited and they can't splurge all of the funds that come from the ICC on the international players. If they do that, then the domestic cricket will suffer and it will create problems in the future. They need to allow players such as Russell and Pooran to play the T20 leagues and cut a deal with them so that they will be available for the world cup.
So are you telling that they are not making any revenue on their own and all the funds they are getting are from the ICC which is strange, there is no point in restricting the players in playing different leagues to make money but there should be available to play in major series, the main players can rest against small teams but when they are playing top ranked teams i think they will have their full strength squad.

Guess West Indies took Afghanistan too much lightly after the 1st T-20 win. A good comeback display from Afghanistan here. I think WI board hardly has any interest to fulfill the needs of the Old players. That's why most of them are preferring to play in other leagues rather to play for national side. Darren Bravo is a much of a ODI player I guess...

Afghanistan didn't started well in the final T20 but Rahmanullah Gurbaz played an outstanding innings of 79 runs. They are looking to score above 150 runs and i think this will be enough for them to beat the West Indies. I do hope the young Afghanistan team can create an history today.
Everything worked well for Afghanistan today. Top-order batting was one of their main concerns, but Rahmanullah Gurbaz played a brilliant innings to take them to a good score. If his partner (Hazratullah Zazai) is able to give him some support, then Afghanistan batting will be in much better shape and the pressure will be relieved from Asghar Afghan/Mohammad Nabi.
Losing against a team like Afghanistan may be devastating for West Indies. And this once again proves that they needs to get their T20 starts in the squad. I am talking about players such as Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Darren Bravo. The West Indies batsmen were unable to keep the scoreboard ticking during the first 10 overs, and this was the reason for their defeat.

West Indies is playing these matches without their full team and i am not sure whether Gayle and others are not planning to play in the national team in the upcoming world cup but if West Indies is planning to win the tournament they need to start playing as a team rather than joining them at a later part after playing all the leagues tournaments, it is not a surprise they lost to Afghanistan and if they play with the current team they will loose to all the other teams.Gayle is already 40 and I don't think that he'll be interested in another world cup outing. But players like Andre Russell can help the current team a lot, if they agree to be a part of the world cup squad. But in the end, it is money that matters. These players get a lot more money playing in franchise leagues, when compared to what they could receive by representing West Indies.
And I don't think that it is fair to blame the players. Cricket is just like any other career option, but the difference is that the duration can be very limited. A player may remain at his peak form for a maximum 4-5 years. So he needs to earn as much as he can during this period. Else, he will end up in a bad financial state, which has happened to many well known cricket players such as Arshad Khan and Chris Cairns.

The biggest takeaway from this series is the manner in which AFG won by decent margins against a team like WI in a T-20 series. Rashid Khan is leading the side brilliantly as expected.
The players started taking responsibility to come up with match winning performance and they always had a good bowling line up because of the world class spin attack but they always lacked in batting power and depth and if they are able to put a decent score on the board then they can pose a challenge and the West Indies side is not having some of their best T20 players as they are playing in league matches in South Africa and Dubai. Full credits to team Afghanistan on winning the series after loosing the first match. 
Well Afghanistan finally won the match and with that the series too. Everyone was speculating that WI is going to win the series after the first T20 but Afghanistan was outstanding in both 2nd and 3rd T20s. In the first one they were close too.
Congratulations to Afghanistan managements to win this T20 series. They deserved it every bit.
Amazing stuff by AFG. I would like to see the faces of all those people who over-estimated WI in T-20 tournaments. This is why T-20 tournaments are so unpredictable people making them the perfect platforms for betting and entertainment.Congratulations to Afghanistan managements to win this T20 series. They deserved it every bit.

After seeing the comfortable win of West Indies in the first T20 who would have dreamt this kind of turn over in the series and Afghanistan coming back from behind and wining the series and that too quite convincingly and both the matches they won, they won by a big margin and so is the reason they are a force in the T20 format and if they are able to find a couple of good batsman then they have the bowlers to defend any total.But we have to think how West indies can loss the series with Afghanistan because west indies have great T20 players like pollard, hope, Lewis maybe it shows over confidence.
It shows how good Afghanistan is rather than any team showing any over confidence and this series win is not a fluke, i know that no one gave a chance for Afghanistan to win but they proved everyone wrong and put some runs on the board and bowled splendidly and they are not having one super star to change the match as someone will rise to the occasion and perform and today it was Rahmanullah Gurbaz. legendary

West Indies is still in the game as they have wickets in hand and Pollard is yet to come and they need 82 runs from 50 balls and it is a chase able score with the strikers West Indies has and if Afghanistan is not able to pick wickets now then it will be difficult to contain the runs.Rashid Khan just took the wicket of Hetmyer and if they are able to pick one more wicket then it will put pressure on West Indies as the run rate will keep on increasing.
Afghanistan is going to win the match because west indies need 33 runs in final over it is not going to be possible to west indies and advance congratulations to Afghanistan for great series win.

Today we have a final T20 final match between Afghanistan vs west indies it will be very interesting watch because the T20 series is level with 1-1 can Afghanistan give upset to west indies with T20 series win?.
It was out standing performance from Afghanistan team especially the bowling unit. They were really very close in several matches and were giving up the match to the opponent but yesterday they did not make any mistake and I am sure this caused a lots of punters to lose their bets :-PToday's match will be interesting to watch. Afghanistan has very good chance to win the T20 series. Can they do it against this WI team?
~snip~
i am going with West Indies to win the match.
Same here but I have some hesitations too. Afghanistan can make an upset if their bowling unit perform the way it did yesterday.i am going with West Indies to win the match.

I did not expect a performance like they had yesterday and i thought if Afghanistan has to win the contribution from Rashid Khan should be exceptional but they had a new bowling start yesterday and they were able to level the series but i am not expecting the same performance today and i guess West Indies will play him better today and i am going with West Indies to win the match.

What you think about West indies status now because they are in 26/1 in 6 overs and they need 119 runs from 85 balls, still 9 wickets in hand so there is any chance Afghanistan can win this match?
I am surprised to see the score board and who is this Karim Janat who destroyed the West Indies batting line up and he took 4 wickets in 3 overs and just gave 7 runs and it is a masterful performance and from this situation Afghanistan can win the match as West Indies still need 89 runs from 46 balls and Rashid Khan has 3 overs left and it is a tough target to chase now.Yes, mate Karim Janat giving amazing performances there he took 4 wickets in 3 over from 7 runs so at the moment Afghanistan is most favorite winning side now.
This team has real talent and as the years are passing by they are showing good progress with both bat and bowl and we can see some excpetional perfomances of players as well. I think in coming time they would be another good team with the likes of SL, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.
Yes, mate Karim Janat giving amazing performances there he took 4 wickets in 3 over from 7 runs so at the moment Afghanistan is most favorite winning side now.
If he (Karim Janat) is able to perform on a consistent basis, then it will be good for Afghanistan. Because right now they are lacking quality pace bowlers, with the performance by Naveen ul Haq being very ordinary so far. Janat is more of a medium pace bowler than a tearaway fast bowler, but in the T20 format it is bowlers like him who are more effective.
Now the series is tied 1-1 and the third T20 match (today afternoon) is going to be very decisive. A series victory against one of the best T20 sides in the world would be a huge confidence booster for Afghanistan and it will help them in getting more sponsors, and more importantly additional tours from stronger sides such as India and Australia.

I think you would be surprised by now as not only they put 147 runs on the board but also they are now close to the winning. WI now need 79 runs and only 4 wickets are left for them. We will for sure witness an upset today.
I am surprised that they get to a total of 147 after seeing them loosing 6 wickets in quick succession and i thought West Indies will be chasing it easily and i went out thinking that there is nothing interesting and when i came back i was shocked that West Indies was struggling I think you would be surprised by now as not only they put 147 runs on the board but also they are now close to the winning. WI now need 79 runs and only 4 wickets are left for them. We will for sure witness an upset today.
. I am yet to watch the bowling performance of Karim Janat and a 5 wicket haul at a good economy is brilliant and he is an all rounder and this was his coming out party with a bang. Jump to:
