The Afghanistan Cricket Board confirmed the news of Najib’s death on Twitter on Tuesday morning.
Najib was seriously injured when he was hit by a private car in Jalalabad last Friday. That night he underwent surgery at a Nangarhar hospital. But even after that, the crisis did not end. The Afghan board later said that whenever possible, Najib would be transferred to the capital, Kabul, or to a hospital outside the country if necessary. But that opportunity did not come to an end.
Najib has played 1 ODI and 12 T20 for Afghanistan. He made his debut against Bangladesh at the 2014 T20 World Cup in Mirpur. He also played the last match against Bangladesh in Mirpur in September last year.
He has scored 2,030 runs in 24 first-class games with an average of 47.20, the highest being 200. He took 21 spinning windows. Najib last played in the Afghanistan national T20 last month, scoring 32 of 22 balls.
The relationship between the game of cricket and statistics is so deep that records are involved in matters such as death. Najib is the second cricketer to leave the world among those who have played in the International Twenty20. Australian hitter Phil Hughes died in 2012 at the age of 25. Among the cricketers who have played ODI, six died at a younger age than Najib.
