Asghar played 195 international matches for his country in his 12-year career. Afghanistan has competed in every major ICC tournament in the last decade: the 2010 T20 World Cup in the Caribbean, the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the 2016 T20 World Cup in India, the 2019 World Cup in the UK, and the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Afghan has the record for most consecutive T20Is as captain: from July 2015 to February 2019, he had 46 T20Is in the Afghan captaincy. And he is second among the players who have played the most games in a row in their national team format. The rivalry against Namibia is its 63rd.
Afghan has not had a particularly successful T20 World Cup with a bat, as he has run a total of 47 runs in four games (including warm-ups).
