Word on the street (though unconfirmed) is that Willie is likely to miss this Afghanistan series, it is said that he refused to give a Urine sample prior to the WCQ. Can anyone confirm whether it’s true or not

I heard he is currently suspended internally by ZC.

Sean's camp are saying that he taking a "mental break from the game" for the rest of the year.

What does that mean? He’s been in peak form for like 5 years now.

Not much cricket after this Afghan series anyway apart from domestic. Hopefully the break will help keep him around for 2026 and 2027 World Cup.

There's a lot of talk again about Antum Naqvi. Maybe this time he really is available. That would certainly help fill the Williams void.

Lots of talk about Naqvi making the said. He would be a direct replacement for Willaims who is definitely out of this tie. If Naqvi doesn't make it who will they turn too perhaps Roy Kaia or Wessy.
