Mohammad Nabi resigned as captain of Afghanistan on Sunday (April 19) following the team's 2015 World Cup campaign in Australia and New Zealand last month.
Nabi said his lack of form was one of the primary reasons for stepping down. "I have served Afghanistan's national team as captain for more than two years. I tried my best to bring victories to our team and the nation," he wrote in a letter to the Afghanistan Cricket Board.
"I am proud that the national team played in the 2015 World Cup under my captaincy. Given the recent performances of the team and particularly my out-of-form status, I would like to request you to accept my resignation as captain and allow me to continue to play as a team player."
