Most of the cricketing trends on Monday revolved around the historic Test win of Afghanistan against Bangladesh. Alan Wilkins, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sanjay Manjrekar and Najibullah Zadran congratulated Afghanistan for making history. They also applauded Rashid Khan for leading the team from the front. The leg-spinner picked up 11 wickets in the game apart from scoring some handy runs. Also, this was Mohammad Nabi’s last Test match.

The all-rounder tweeted that he couldn’t have asked for a better ending. He thanked everyone for their support and wishes. Mirwais Ashraf, Rashid Khan and many others tweeted that they’ll miss the veteran’s services in the longest format. The other trends on the day revolved around the Ashes. Steve Smith shared the picture of the celebration in the dressing room after the Kangaroos retained the urn. Ramiz Raja, on the other hand, thanked god for the Ashes and keeping Test cricket alive.
