“The Afro-Asia Cup, apart from the cricket, brings the much-needed financial input to the organisation, and the appetite is huge from both ends,” said, Tavengwa Mukuhlani, the interim chair of the ACA.

“We have had conversations with our counterparts within the Asia Cricket Council, and obviously our African contingents, they want the Afro-Asia Cup to be revived,” he further added.

Cricketers from India and Pakistan might get an opportunity to play in the same lineup is the Afro-Asia Cup is held. India and Pakistan have not taken part in a bilateral relation since January 2013, and have instead only faced off in ICC and ACC competitions.

AB De Villiers doesn’t use his bat and pay’s the price! He tries to leave the ball and Mohammad Asif‘s in-swinging delivery shatters his off stump. He did’t even try to touch the ball because he fails to judge the line of the ball. The incident happened in 2007 during the Afro-Asia contest in India. De Villers, who was during the initial stages of his career was still a force to reckon with as he got the first team chance in the Africa XI side, that comprised of players form South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya, while Mohammad Asif was rising to the fame with his lethal fast deliveries.

Recently, keeping in view South Africa’s upcoming tour of India, former Indian fast-bowler Praveen Kumar has said that De Villers is patiently waiting for Indian bowlers to experiment. “AB is expecting you to bowl six different deliveries at him. He is waiting for you to experiment with your lines and lengths because he then can hit you anywhere he pleases. I have always believed in bowling good length to him. Six balls on the same spot with unwavering accuracy. You cannot try to beat him at his own game. He wants you to get overawed, but you cannot afford to let him dictate your mindset. It’s important that you are not looking at what he’s doing at the crease. He will move around, jump at you and try to get into your mind. But your job is to simply look at that spot where you want to pitch the ball,” he said. Mohammad Asif admits innocence in spot-fixing row
