AUS vs AFG ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Ahead of their match in the Cricket World Cup in 2023, Australia canceled their trip to Afghanistan in 2021 because of political unrest, as noted by Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq.
Naveen-ul-Haq, a fast bowler for the Afghanistan cricket team, made a jab at Australia on Saturday ahead of their November 7, 2023, ICC Cricket World Cup match. He mentioned the year 2021 in a narrative that he shared on his own Instagram account. The political climate in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover of the country in 2021 forced the Australian team to postpone their trip there.

“Refusing to play the bilateral series, now it will be interesting to see cricket Australia stand in the World Cup #standards #humanrights or 2 points,” Naveen wrote on the social media platform.
In the meantime, Australia formally eliminated the reigning champions from the World Cup 2023 with their 33-run victory over England on Saturday. Spinner Adam Zampa made significant strides for his side by taking several key wickets, and England’s Ben Stokes made a valiant 64 runs.
Australia was all out for 286 runs after their powerful batting order failed to perform well against slumping English bowlers. Australia was just short of reaching the coveted 300-run threshold, although Chris Woakes came close with four wickets, while Wood and Adil Rashid each claimed two wickets. With five wins in their first seven matches, the five-time world champions have enjoyed a respectable campaign thus far and appear headed to the semi-finals of the major event.
However, Afghanistan won their fourth tournament match on Friday, dominating the match and defeating the Netherlands by seven wickets. After taking three wickets in the World Cup encounter between the Netherlands and Afghanistan, Mohammad Nabi was named player of the match.
Afghanistan has so far performed incredibly well in the ICC World Cup 2023, defeating England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka—the three reigning world champions. The squad that started the campaign as the underdog is winning and has a strong chance of making it to the World Cup.
