Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott urged his bowlers to be pose more threats to the Indians in the middle overs. The absence of star spinner Rashid Khan also compounded to Afghanistan’s misery.
"It's something that we want to get better at if we want to compete at the World Cup (in June). So, plenty to play for at such a historic venue," said Trott in his pre-match press meet.
The fact that Rashid Khan is injured is partly to blame for their struggles with the ball, and Trott stated that Afghanistan's management is giving the great spinner plenty of time to heal.
“It is a case of us making sure that we are careful with his back. He is such an influential player. We have to make sure he is 100 per cent ready and not rush him back from that type of surgery. It is important to give him the time and he is working extremely hard.
