KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) – Afghanistan’s long-serving coach, former Pakistan Test bowler Kabir Khan, has resigned less than six months before his team take part in their first 50-over World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

“The job requires a lot of travelling and this has affected my family life a lot and I now have to give them proper time,” Kabir told Reuters.
“I was not enjoying my job and so I decided it was time to resign and the Afghanistan Cricket Board accepted my decision.”
Kabir, a left-arm seamer who played four Tests and 10 ODIs for Pakistan, has had two stints as coach after first becoming involved with Afghanistan cricket in 2007.
