By Saurabh Sharma May 20, 2019 • 22:14 PM View: 1283

London, May 20 (CRICKETNMORE): Coach Phil Simmons was not given any reasons when the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) decided to change the captain, months ahead of the World Cup, but the West Indian said he was trying to ensure that the change didn't impact their preparations.

The ACB removed Asghar Afghan as the national team's captain and named three different captains for Tests, ODIs and T20Is with less than than two months to go for the World Cup.
