IND vs AFG | Afghanistan’s Test dilemma: chances few, challenges many
By the conclusion of the one-off Test between India and Afghanistan at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium, the presence of Richard Pybus in his team’s media commitments had become run-of-the-mill. The 61-year-old Afghanistan coach fronted up to questions on the eve of his maiden assignment as well as on all three days after play.Through his repeated appearances, Pybus’ messaging about what ails Afghanistan’s Test team was consistent. A pithy encapsulation boiled down to the Asian side simply needing more games in the five-day version.
