Afghanistan Qualifies for 2012 World Cup!!
Afghans qualify for 2012
U-19 World Cup
KABUL (PAN): By the dint of a convincing eight-wicket win over Canada at
the Bready Club in Ireland on Tuesday, Afghanistan qualified for the 2012
ICC Under-19 World Cup.
In their final game, Canada won the toss and opted to bat first -- a
decision that patently backfired. They were skittled out for 71 in the 33rd
over.
The target was easily achieved by Afghans in the 15th over for the loss of
only two wickets. Syed Sherzad, Yamin Ahmadi and Abdul Basir took two
wickets apiece.
Australia also qualified for the cup.
For the winners, Javed Ahmad played a significant innings of 34 runs.
Another top-scorer for the side was Hashmatullah Shahidi, who chipped in
with a valuable 23.
Afghanistan Cricket Board Chief Executive Nasimullah Danish hailed the
outcome as a historic moment for the country. He congratulated the team
and the nation on the victory.
Afghanistan played nine matches in the tournament, winning five and losing
four.Last edited by Haris; 08-09-2011, 06:50 PM.---

Afghan squad getting ready
for Pak domestic T20
tournament
KABUL: Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has kicked off training camp for Afghan
Cricket team goes by the name of ‘Afghan Chita’ for the upcoming T20 event
scheduled in Pakistan, officials said on Monday.
The tournament is scheduled to be held on September-October this year.
The 15-day training camp has been launched in the International Cricket Stadium in
Nangarhar province, said Ahmad Farid Hotak, Media Officer of ACB while talking to
Afghanistan Times correspondent.
After the completion of camp ‘Afghan Chita’ will tour Pakistan to participate in
abovementioned event and the team will be led by skipper Mohammad Nabi, he added.
13 Pakistani teams including Afghanistan are participating in the tournament.
Mr. Hotak, termed the tournament as a breakthrough and vowed that it will help the
players to better prepare for international events.
Afghanistan national cricket team toured Pakistan on May and played three ODI with
Pakistan-A team. Afghan team whitewashed by their Pakistani rival.
In two years, Afghanistan is the first foreign team to play in the neighboring country,
where international matches were barred over security problems.
International cricket has been suspended in Pakistan since March 2009, when gunmen
attacked a convoy carrying the Sri Lankan squad in the metropolitan city of Lahore.
Afghans have been playing the game since around 1992 they originally learned the
game in the vast refugee camps of Pakistan. On the fall of the Taliban in 2001,
hundreds of enthusiasts came home and brought the game with them. Since then,
cricket has boomed. The game is played all around the country and its growing
popularity can been assumed by the fact that out of 34 provinces 29 have their
provincial cricket teams.

I am just too sad to see AFG Cheetahs lose those two matches in a very bad way, cause if the captain had what it takes to be a captain we would have won both of them.Comment
