Steyn Backs Afghanistan To Win An ICC Trophy In The Next Decade But Calls For More Patience
Former South African: Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn backed Afghanistan after their performance in the ongoing Champions Trophy and believes it’s only a matter of time before they lift an ICC trophy. However, he urged Afghanistan’s players to develop more patience in their approach to sustain success in major tournaments.
Steyn’s remarks came after Afghanistan’s campaign at the Champions Trophy 2025 ended in disappointment. Despite a thrilling victory over England in Lahore, their loss to South Africa and no result due to rain against Australia on Friday night saw them likely to miss out on a knockout berth.
However, they have an outside chance if England beat South Africa by a margin of 270 runs in Saturday's match, then by Net Run Rate (NRR) Afghanistan can qualify. If South Africa beat England, the Proteas will qualify for the semifinals as the top-ranked team from Group B.
