The 22nd edition will be hosted by Qatar and will start on November 20, with the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador on Sunday 20th.

The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA, the world governing body of football, implemented the idea and decided to hold an international men’s football tournament under the tenure of FIFA President Jules Rimet. The inaugural edition held in 1930 was contested as a final by only thirteen teams invited by the organizers. Since then, the World Cup has undergone expansions and changes, with the current 32 teams participating in a two-year qualification process before the final World Cup, with over 200 teams from around the world participating in these qualifying tournaments. This year the World Cup will be held for the 22nd time and the World Cup will be hosted by Qatar.

FIFA has announced the total prize money fund for the 2022 World Cup with a massive increase of 29%, taking the total to $1 billion. Of that, $440 million will be distributed among the 32 teams depending on how the World Cup ends. The remaining $660 million will be distributed to the least developed federations.

The distribution among the 32 groups is as follows

Participation Fee (for all 32 qualified teams) $2.5 million (each)
Group Stage (16 teams which get eliminated) $8 million (each)
Round of 16 (8 eliminated teams) $12 million (each)
Quarterfinals (4 eliminated teams) $16 million (each)
Fourth place $22 million
Third Place $26 million
Runners-up $32 million
Champions $45 million

Afghanistan Names New Captains for Sri Lanka Series as Rashid Khan Steps Down

Published

By

Afghanistan cricket has entered a new phase of leadership as selectors announced sweeping changes ahead of their upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka. Following the team’s early exit from the ICC T20 World Cup, star all-rounder Rashid Khan has been relieved of his captaincy duties. Ibrahim Zadran will now lead the T20 side, while Hashmatullah Shahidi has been entrusted with the ODI captaincy.

Despite losing the armband, Rashid remains a key figure in Afghanistan’s plans, with his name included in both squads. The selectors have opted for a balanced mix of seasoned performers and promising youngsters, signaling a strategy to rebuild while maintaining stability.

The T20 squad features explosive opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, alongside Ibrahim Zadran, who will captain the side. Veteran Mohammad Nabi adds experience, while spin remains Afghanistan’s strongest weapon with Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Sharafuddin Ashraf forming a formidable attack. Young talents like Sediqullah Atal and Darwish Rasooli have also been given opportunities, reflecting the selectors’ intent to groom the next generation.

On the other hand, Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead the ODI side, supported by experienced campaigners such as Rahmat Shah and Mohammad Nabi. The batting unit includes Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, while wicketkeeping duties will be shared between Gurbaz and Ikram Alikhil. The bowling attack is spearheaded by Rashid Khan, with support from Zia ur Rahman Sharifi, Farid Ahmad Malik, and Nangyal Kharotai. Reserves include Qais Ahmad, M. Saleem Safi, and Bashir Ahmad, ensuring depth across departments.

Security Concerns Cloud Series
The series, scheduled from March 13 to 25, was to feature three T20Is in Sharjah and three ODIs in Dubai. However, escalating regional tensions—sparked by reports of Iranian strikes and claims surrounding the death of Iran’s supreme leader in alleged U.S.–Israeli attacks—have raised serious doubts about security and travel. Cricket authorities are monitoring the situation closely, with contingency plans under discussion.

ODI Squad: Hashmatullah Shahidi (Captain), Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Ikram Alikhil (WK), Rashid Khan, A.M. Ghazanfar, Zia ur Rahman Sharifi, Farid Ahmad Malik, Nangyal Kharotai, Bila Saim.
Reserves: Qais Ahmad, M. Saleem Safi, Bashir Ahmad.

T20I Squad: Ibrahim Zadran (Captain), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Noor Rahman (WK), Shahidullah Kamal, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Zia ur Rahman Sharifi, Fareed Malik, Abdullah Ahmadzai.
