All Indian players are good and everyone is Virat Kohli, says Asghar Stanikzai

Afghanistan are all set to make history on June 14 when they face India in the one-off Test match. With this, Afghanistan will become the 12th Test playing nation which will be a defining moment for the team, who has toiled hard to enter the elites of the cricket. However, India skipper Virat Kohli, who has opted to play county cricket for the preparation of the England tour, would not be playing the match. 

Stanikzai stated that the conditions in India favor spinners and they are lucky to have good spinners in their team. He believed that his batsmen have been in good form and his team’s combination has been ideal in the past few years.   

For Afghanistan, the country that is regularly shaken by terrorist attacks, it would be a moment of happiness and not just for their cricket history. Stanikzai stated that the team is motivated to provide their country some happiness by winning the historic Test. 

"It is very difficult. We get very sad when we hear about attacks in our country. But we don't lose our morale, we will try even more to win because the whole nation will be waiting for us to win, the whole nation will be very happy when we win."

Afghanistan secured their prestigious Test status last year along with Ireland, who are playing their debut five-day match against Pakistan in Dublin.
