If you were surprised by Rashid Khan & Co.’s victory over Australia in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, there’s more startling news involving the USA Team. Reports suggest that the USA Team turned down Dwayne Bravo for the position of bowling coach for the tournament.
Subsequently, Dwayne Bravo was enlisted as a bowling consultant for the Afghanistan team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. His impact has been evident, with Afghanistan defeating heavyweight teams like Australia and New Zealand.
In the Australia vs Afghanistan match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the Asian giants displayed commendable efforts. The clash, held on Sunday morning IST, saw Afghanistan defending their 146-run total with an impressive bowling performance.
Afghanistan’s bowlers exhibited exceptional prowess during the chase against Australia. They displayed remarkable teamwork, achieving what they couldn’t in the previous ODI World Cup. Notably, Afghanistan managed to dismiss seven Australian batsmen before they reached 100 runs on the board.
At that point, Australia required nearly 200 runs for victory. Glenn Maxwell emerged as their savior with a sensational unbeaten double century at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which stunned fans worldwide.
In the recent encounter, Maxwell once again played a pivotal role, scoring 59 runs off 41 balls with six fours and three sixes, leading Australia’s chase. However, the Afghan bowlers ensured they didn’t repeat past mistakes and dismissed Maxwell in a timely manner.
Dwayne Bravo has garnered praise for his contributions to the Rashid Khan-led team during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Ahead of the tournament, Bravo was appointed as a bowling consultant for Afghanistan based on the recommendation of Head Coach Jonathan Trott.
According to journalist Peter Della Penna, a significant revelation has emerged on his official Twitter account. He disclosed that Dwayne Bravo reached out to USA Cricket for the position of bowling coach in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, but his offer was declined.
“True story: Dwayne Bravo reached out to USA Cricket to offer his services as bowling coach for the T20 World Cup. USA Cricket said thanks but no thanks”, he tweeted. Have a look at his tweet below.

The USA Cricket Team put up an impressive performance in their debut ICC T20 World Cup appearance. They achieved a notable victory over Pakistan in their opening match and secured a place in the Super 8 round at their expense.
The USA’s triumph over Pakistan marked the first major upset of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, with Afghanistan’s win against Australia being the most recent upset.
Looking forward, Rashid Khan and his team have more challenges ahead. They must defeat Bangladesh in their upcoming match to secure a spot in the semi-finals. Additionally, they will be hoping for India to defeat Australia in their next game, which is another scenario that could pave the way for Afghanistan to advance to the semi-finals.
