Afghanistan cricket captain Rashid Khan has expressed his frustration over the team's impending exit from the T20 World Cup, attributing it to a lack of regular matches against top-tier teams.

Khan believes that competing frequently with leading sides would make major tournaments more competitive and better prepare teams like Afghanistan for such high-stakes encounters. Narrow losses to New Zealand and South Africa have left Afghanistan on the edge of elimination.

Despite the setbacks, Khan remains optimistic and emphasizes the need for his team to deliver their best performances in upcoming matches against teams like the UAE. He has called for increased bilateral series against stronger teams to enhance Afghanistan's competitive edge.
