Gurbaz notably played a key role in the 2023 World Cup, exhibiting exceptional form as he built a robust partnership at the top order with Ibrahim Zadran. His contributions in the tournament amounted to a significant 280 runs across nine matches, maintaining an impressive average of 31.11. His performance included two remarkable half-centuries, boasting a notable strike rate of 98.94, earning widespread recognition for his cricketing prowess.

As far as Afghanistan are concerned, they did put on a spirited effort in the World Cup 2023 and registered wins against England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Netherlands- defeating three former champions in their campaign. However, they still fell short of securing a place in the semis where India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand will meet in two knockout fixtures- the four sides that they failed to beat in the round-robin stage despite coming pretty close against Australia.

Having said that, Afganistan have managed to secure a place in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 by finishing sixth after the world cricket govering body confirmed that the top seven teams and hosts Pakistan will compete in the tournament.
