ICC Champions Trophy: Afghanistan's veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, who was part of their first-ever ODI side, is still not thinking about hanging up his boots and is planning to play beyond the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy starting from February 19.

Now 40 years old, Nabi remains an elite all-rounder and has just helped Fortune Barishal win the Bangladesh Premier League. He is now back on Afghanistan duty, 16 years after he was part of the team that beat Scotland in Benoni in his country’s first-ever ODI.

And he has not yet decided whether the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 will be the last time he pulls on an international jersey. “I’m still thinking (about the future). These might not be my last ODIs, I will probably play fewer ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience," ICC quoted Nabi as saying. “I’ve discussed with the senior players and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we’ll see. It will depend on my fitness.
