"I had a wonderful time working with the team and coaching the boys with the best of my abilities. I wish them the very best in the future,” he added.

Remember, Gul was named coach after a successful stint as a bowling consultant during a camp in April 2022. He was formally appointed in the following month.

Under his coaching, Afghanistan pacers were brilliant, particularly at the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup.
