5 Players who might play their final Asia Cup

5. Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan)

Mohammad Nabi, who has been the face of Afghanistan cricket for almost a couple of decades now, could be playing his last Asia Cup in 2025. Since Afghanistan’s debut in the tournament in 2014, Nabi has been a regular member, featuring in every edition and even leading the team twice, in 2014 and 2022. The veteran all-rounder, now in his late 40s, has been important in Afghanistan’s dominance.

Nabi has represented Afghanistan in over 300 international matches, becoming the first Afghan cricketer to play 100 ODIs and take 100 wickets in the format. In the continental tournament, he has captained the team in four ODIs and five T20Is, winning one and two respectively. Collectively, in five editions, he has scored 351 runs and bagged 16 wickets.
