Afghanistan head coach Richard Pybus expressed his delight over his players handling their responsibilities and said that they were evolving as a team following their tri-series triumph in the final over Zimbabwe in Sharjah. Afghanistan enjoyed a spotless run in the tournament, beating Zimbabwe by 158 runs and Bangladesh by seven wickets in the group stage, before coasting home in the final against Zimbabwe by seven wickets again.
Pybus acknowledged that it was a “happy dressing room” after Afghanistan won three matches in five days, coping with the heat and humidity while doing so. He also stressed on developing a side that could adapt and perform across conditions.
“I just think the side's in a good place. We came off the back of a positive series in Ireland. We're looking to build a side which can adapt to different conditions. We need to develop a side which can perform in any conditions around the world. And I think we're starting to get some depth in the squad and guys turning up and putting the performances in,” Pybus said after the final.
“When we sit and plan as a team for guys to take responsibility for their position in the team, I think we saw it in Ireland and we've seen it again in this series where guys are really getting stuck into their work. They're not handling responsibility for other players to come in and pick up the pieces where they have not executed on what they need to do in their role. So that's really pleasing,” he said.
