Historical link of cricket in Afghanistan is dated
back to 19th century. The first time cricket was played in the nation during
Anglo-Afghan Wars at the 19th century. The match played with British troops
most likely at Kabul in 1839. But, unlike many nations, no lasting cricket
inheritance left by the departing British troops. And it would be more than a
hundred years before cricket returned in the nation.
During the 1990s, cricket became well-liked amongst
Afghan refugees in Pakistan. In 1995, Afghanistan Cricket Federation formed
there. They kept on playing cricket after their return to their home country
during late 2001. During the reign of the Taliban, like all sports, cricket
originally banned by them. However, it was turning out to be an exception in the
year 2000 the Afghanistan Cricket Federation chosen as an affiliate member of
the ICC the next year.
In the present day cricket is one of the most popular
sports in Afghanistan, and we can all witness the brilliant performance of
Afghanistan team in the international cricket scenario. Afghanistan team has
made rapid improvement in the international world of cricket.

team of Afghanistan formed in 2001. This team played in the 2009 World Cup
