Mohammad Nabi who is playing in the AFG ODI side is listed on cricinfo as 37 years old. Thats old as f**k...now if he's cheating as much as ZCF guesses the average Afghan player does...it would mean his real age would be somewhere around 40-42. IMO, that is way too old to be playing top flight cricket (really old players can play for the rank minnows in Division 3 or amateur cricket).
Ok thats trying to hold on straws, i think Nabi started cricket way back and maybe back then there was no advantage in age cheating and he might have not cheated at all. Or you are right and he cheated but hell he is just a good cricketer even at old age! Look at the world Boss, he was until very recently, still playing even though he is well into his 40‘s so there are always exceptions to the norm and we have to accept those as well. But Rashid is no way 23 years old comon‘ Krit
the higher you go the cooler it becomes

Gayle has barely represented Windies in the last 7-8 years...well before he turned 40.

My gut says Rashid isnt 23 but that picture of him at the same age as Sam Curran is eh. I`ve seen heaps of middle eastern blokes at the same age with heaps of facial hair. Sam Curran looks way younger than the normal 14 year old in that too.

This is literally ridiculous. Who even ever mentioned Nabi?
So you are saying because Nabi isn't a cheat, nobody else from Asia is? 😂 Is that your point? That must be why you randomly mentioned him.
That's like saying Madhevere has never run over and killed someone before, so therefore Musakanda must be innocent
I really hope you don't work in the legal system. You could get a job in the Zim police or courts with that kind of thinking tbf 😂

Zimbabwe automatically qualified for next edition u19 world cup, even though they finished outside the 11 place 😂

I'm sure that will be queried. UAE in particular will have something to say about that.

Doesn't matter who queries or who doesn't, ICC will do whatever they want to do 😆

The ICC are disgusting.
I mean this is great for Zim if we are being selfish. But it's completely unacceptable. During the tournament the ICC - and their commentators - repeatedly said the top 11 finishers qualify, and in the UAE's last match even praised how well they had done and had 'qualified for 2024.'
To back trackon that a few months later and change it to 'the top 11 full members' (only 11 full members entered! 😂 ) is frankly insulting.
Cricket remains the worst administered sport in the world.

Reminds me of when the Thailand ladies team was done dirty. So New Zealand are playing the qualifier?
