Mohammad Nabi, the veteran Afghanistan all-rounder currently playing for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20, said the players' participation from his country in the competition is a key boost, citing that it's a platform to correct their errors made in the Asia Cup and serves as motivation to perform well ahead of next year's T20 World Cup.

Nabi has featured in 145 T201 matches for Afghanistan, amassing 2417 runs and picking 104 wickets. He has been a part of Afghanistan's squad since the country first appeared in the T20 World Cup in 2010, and had their best-ever performance by reaching the semifinals in the 2024 edition of the competition.
