He was leading the board during the World Cup in 2019 which was the worst tournament in the history of the Afghanistan National Cricket team.

The team lost there all nine matches under the captaincy of Gulbadin Naib after which both the chairman and skipper were sacked.

Azizullah Fazli occupies the chairmanship days after the Afghan National Cricket team is heading towards Sri Lanka to play a three-match series against Pakistan.

There are fears about the tour being canceled as the flights from Hamid Karzai International Airport are nearly impossible to be operated owing to thousands of people waiting both in and outside the airport to fly out of Afghanistan.
