Cricket in Kabul

Afghanistan has not only beaten Netherlands in an ODI sson after I thought they needed more ODIs, they also defeated them in a First Class match.Afghanistan are perhaps the only team to have little British heritage or presence of expats from cricket playing countries and yet become a decent cricket team.Of course, they learnt their cricket from Pakistanis in Pakistan and have brought the game back to their homeland.Still Cricket is richer by this accident and it lends to delightful fancy where NRI kids living in Europe can lead India into a footballing era.
