Buoyed by a spirited effort from his boys against heavyweights Pakistan, the Afghanistan coach Kabir Khan today sounded a warning bell for India and Sri Lanka stating that they are "hungry to win" a match in the ongoing Asia Cup tournament.
Afghanistan yesterday had reduced Pakistan to 117 for six before they recovered well to end up at 248 thereby winning the match by 72 runs.
"All of our boys are very hungry to win a game or two here they know how much it ill change the team. If we get one or two wins it will change the future of youngsters and the next ten years of Afghanistan cricket," Afghan coach Khan told reporters after their 72-run loss to Pakistan at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium.
"I think, after the performance, all the rest of the teams who are playing against us will think twice before trying to take us lightly. They will definitely look out for our bowling and specially plan for our bowlers. We came here in this tournament not to win in the Cup but to to win one or two games. That's what we want to take from here," Khan added.
Boasting a fine bowling attack in Shapoor Zadran and Dawlat Zadran who tries to ape Waqar Younis, Afghanistan would have a formidable attack against the big teams, the coach added.
"Well, in Afghanistan, the boys are well-built. They are strong and tough. They are aggressive. And obviously, that helps in them being fast bowlers. Kids back home want to be fast bowlers, not spinners. It's just natural.
