Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan praised Shai Hope for playing a brilliant knock of 109* and depriving the Afghanistan bowlers of any chance to salvage a victory in the series. Hope hit an unbeaten 109 as West Indies won the third ODI by five wickets and completed a 3-0 whitewash over Afghanistan.

Skipper Kieron Pollard has expressed how winning is a habit and the process of actually making it happen is one department where West Indies has significantly improved. Pollard further credited all his players for performing as planned ahead of the series against Afghanistan, which they won 3-0.

Afghanistan will be playing three ODIs and T20Is each including a Test against the West Indies in Lucknow and are looking to gain some moment by toppling the giants ahead of the T20 World Cup. Afghan skipper Rashid Khan has shared that they will be playing smart cricket on the big grounds.

It seems like the Afghanistan Cricket Board has devised a new policy ahead of their limited over series against West Indies as they made as many as five changes to the squad that played the T20 tri-series. Shafiqullah Shafiq and Dawlat Zadran have been dropped from the side to give the makeover.
