“Take seriously at the subcontinent …”: England exploded on the departure of the 2025 champion trophy

The former Cricket player Michael Vaughan is not surprised that England has crashed through the Champions Trophy in the group stage with a defeat against Afghanistan in the “conditions” that were offered in Lahore on Wednesday. In the famous Gaddafi stadium, Afghanistan took the big weapons and kept their hopes of semifinals at the expense of the England campaign alive. It was an annotation festival that went down to the cable. Afghanistan kept his nerves to defend the total 325/7 with a thin victory of eight races.

Bright Afghanistan … Victoria for all the deserved … England simply has not played the white ball cryket good enough for a couple of years. This result is not a surprise in these conditions … #Championstropia2025

After the exciting encounter ended with smiles at the camp and the sadness of Afghanistan in England, Vaughan said that England has not played good enough in the white ball cryket.

“Brilliant from Afghanistan … Vinga completely deserved … England has simply played the white ball cryket good enough for a couple of years. This result is not a surprise in these conditions,” Vaughan wrote in X.

Afghanistan fans felt nostalgic when they saw their team defend themselves against England, just as they did during the 2023 ODI World Cup at the Arun Jaitley stadium in New Delhi.

The former chief coach of India, Ravi Shastri, also criticized England and said they will have to “play seriously at the subcontinent” to be considered a team “that can travel.”

Afghanistan. You rock. Kammaaal Kaardi. For England. Take playing in the subcontinent seriously without excuses. Only then will you be recognized as a team that can travel #Afgveng #Championstropia2025 pic.twitter.com/6duylzavc5

It was a stressful thriller since the spectators witnessed the Cricket Odi at their best. The impulse swing like a pendulum when the game went down the cable, which led to a nerve thriller.

In a battle of nerves and sand, Afghanistan maintained its composure just until the end. When the wickt continued to fall at the other end, Ibrahim Zadran remained without discouragement and continued playing with the Bowling Unit of England.

He broke records on his way to a Swashbuckling 177 (146), the highest individual score in the history of the tournament. Azmatullah Omarzai (41) and Gulbadin Naib (40) intervened with valuable contributions to take Afghanistan to an imposing total of 325/7.

In response, Joe Root’s 118 was not enough to save a victory for England while succumbing to an 8 -run defeat. Azmatullah Omarzai ended with 5/58 figures, the best for Afghanistan in the ICC ODI tournaments.
