Usman Ghani takes a break from cricket due to corruption within ACB

A couple of days after being dropped from the away series against Bangladesh, Usman Ghani has decided to take a break from the sport. 

In a series of posts on his official Twitter account, the opening batter slammed the corrupt board and stated he will come back to the game once the management changes. 

After careful consideration, I have decided to take a break from Afghanistan Cricket. The corrupt leadership in the cricket board has compelled me to step back. I will continue my hard work and eagerly await the right management and selection committee to be put in place. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/lGWQUDdIwJ

"After careful consideration, I have decided to take a break from Afghanistan Cricket. The corrupt leadership in the cricket board has compelled me to step back. I will continue my hard work and eagerly await the right management and selection committee to be put in place," Ghani stated on Twitter.

"Once that happens, I will proudly return to play for Afghanistan. Until then, I am backing myself from representing my beloved nation. Despite multiple visits, I couldn't meet the chairman as he remained unavailable."

"Moreover, the chief selector had no satisfactory response for my exclusion from all formats," he further added.

The 26-year-old featured for the national side in 17 ODIs and 35 T20Is, with the last appearance for Afghanistan coming in a T20I series against Pakistan.
