Mohammad Nabi and Afghanistan complete special milestone

Mohammad Nabi has become a trailblazer for the next generation of Afghan aspirants

The second ODI of the 3-match series against Ireland was a special one for Afghanistan cricket. They became the 14th team to complete the landmark of 100 ODIs. Talisman all-rounder Mohammad Nabi played every single match of those century of appearances in the 50-over format.

Not including the ongoing third ODI against Ireland, Afghanistan have won 52 of their 100 appearances. Aside from two no-results, they have lost 46 matches.

Nabi has become the first cricketer to play every match of his team's first 100 ODIs. The next best in the all time list is former skipper Steve Tikolo who took part in each game of Kenya's first 49 ODIs.
