Cricket training camp
concludes in Kunar




ASADABAD (PAN): Nearly 150 youngsters on Thursday completed a six-day
cricket training course in eastern Kunar province, an official said.

Arranged by the Loba Sports Training Organisation (LSTO), the youth were
told how to bat, bowl and field at the training camp that was attended by
boys from various parts of the province.

LSTO Deputy Director Zarab Shah Zaheer told Pajhwok Afghan News the
participants were imparted training by expert who tried their best to
transfer their knowledge to the youngsters.

He said the participants were divided into two groups, having 50 boys
each, for playing matches with their counterparts in Laghman and
Nangarhar provinces.

Zaheer added players having shown good performances would be taken to
Kabul for more matches with better teams.

Kunar Sports Director Abdullah Adil praised LSTO for arranging the
programme and hoped the organisation would continue to conduct such
events in the future as well.

Pa khair Graveyard!

Welcome back.


I hope that in the future we will be able to hold domestic tournaments on a professional level and really see who are the best

We have something like this already, with Kabul winning last year but it needs to be developed much more.


I also notice that it is almost entirely the Pashtuns who play cricket in Afghanistan.

Yes brother, Kabul won last year and we do have a team although I know very little about it or about the tournament as there is hardly any information.

A tournament was held this year too:




Congratulations to Nangharhar :-)



In Mazar on the 27th November, a new stadium was opened and another one was opened in Khost in October so that is also good news for Cricket & will help to develop the sport and make better domestic tournaments.
