TheAfghanistan men's national cricket team (Pashto:د افغانستان کرکټ ملي لوبډله,Dari:تیم ملی کریکت افغانستان) representsAfghanistan in internationalcricket. It is a full Member of theInternational Cricket Council withTest,One-Day International andT20 International status.[14]
Cricket has been played in Afghanistan since the mid-19th century, but it was only in the early 21st century that the national team began to enjoy success. TheAfghanistan Cricket Board was formed in 1995, becoming an affiliate member of theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) in 2001[15] and a member of the cricket confederation,Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in 2003.[16] After nearly a decade of playing international cricket, on 22 June 2017 full ICC membership (and thereforeTest status) was granted to Afghanistan. AlongsideIreland, this took the number ofTest cricket playing nations to twelve.[17][18] In view of the persistent conflict and insecurity in Afghanistan, following this status, the team moved to anew home ground inDehradun, in India.[19][20] The current home ground of the Afghanistan Men's Cricket team is the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in theUAE.
Afghanistan cricket has become a symbol of hope and resilience for many.[21] The sport has not only provided entertainment but has also united a nation that has faced numerous challenges. The Afghanistan team has made significant strides on the international stage, showcasing the talent and determination of its players.[22][23]
Cricket in Afghanistan was popularised byAfghan expatriates who learnt the sport while living in Pakistan in the 1980s and 1990s, during thepost-Soviet invasion era.[24][25] Most members of the early Afghanistan national cricket team grew up in Pakistan and participated in the country's domestic cricket structure, making use of cricket facilities inPeshawar with the support of thePakistan Cricket Board (PCB).[26][25] It was during this time that theAfghanistan Cricket Federation (now ACB) was also founded, in 1995.[27] Like all sports, cricket was initially banned by theTaliban, but cricket became an exception in 2000 (being the only sport in Afghanistan to be approved by the Taliban). The ACF received recognition from theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) in 2001.[27]
Afghanistan fielded their cricket team in Pakistan's domestic setup for the first time in the 2001–02 season, participating in the second division of theQuaid-e-Azam Trophy where they drew two and lost three of their five games.[28][29] They returned for the Cornelius Trophy in the 2002–03 season, drawing one and losing three matches.[30] In the 2003–04 season, they made an appearance in the PCB's inter-district tournament in Peshawar, where they registered their lone victory againstSwabi, drew twice and lost two matches.[29][31]
They began playing in Asian regional tournaments in 2004, finishing sixth in their first ACC Trophy. More success began in 2006 when they were runners-up toBahrain in the Middle East Cup and beat anMCC side featuring formerEnglandcaptainMike Gatting by 171 runs inMumbai. Gatting was dismissed for aduck.[32]
They touredEngland in the summer of 2006, winning six out of seven matches. Three of their wins came against the second XIs ofEssex,Glamorgan andLeicestershire.[16] They finished third in the ACC Trophy that year, beatingNepal in a play-off match.[32]
They won their first tournament in 2007, sharing theACC Twenty20 Cup withOman after the two tied in the final.[32] They began their qualifying campaign for the2011 World Cup inJersey in 2008, winningDivision Five of the World Cricket League.[33] They finished third in the ACC Trophy Elite tournament the same year,[16] and won a second consecutive WCL tournament,Division Four inTanzania later in the year.[16]
The Afghanistan national team was coached by former Pakistani cricketersKabir Khan andRashid Latif in its initial years.[24][26] During this period, a number of Afghan international cricketers made appearances for Pakistani domestic outfits in the first-class circuit.[25][34][35]
In January 2009,Afghanistan progressed to the 2009 World Cup Qualifier by winningDivision Three of the World Cricket League inBuenos Aires, topping the table on net run rate ahead ofUganda andPapua New Guinea.[36]
In 2010, Afghanistan competed at theAsian Games, a non-ICCT20 event hosted by China, where they defeated a second-string Pakistan sideby 22 runs in the semi-finals in what was considered an upset.[37] In May 2011, the Afghan side embarked on a tour of Pakistan to partake in a three-matchlimited overs series againstPakistan A, where they were whitewashed by the home side 3–0.[38][34] They followed this up with another tour in September to participate in Pakistan's domesticNational T20 Cup in Karachi as theAfghan Cheetahs, but had another poor outing,losing all three of their matches.[39]
In the 2011 Cricket World Cup qualifying tournament, Afghanistan failed to progress to theWorld Cup, but earned ODI status for four years.[16] Their firstODI was against Scotland in the 5th place playoff, having previously beaten the Scots earlier in the tournament; Afghanistan won by 89 runs.[40] Afghanistan became the only affiliate member to have ODI status.
In theIntercontinental Cup Afghanistan played its first first-class match against a Zimbabwe XI in a four-day match inMutare. During the match, which was drawn, Afghan batsmanNoor Ali scored centuries in both his innings, making him only the fourth player to do so on their first-class debut. Later, in August 2009, they played theNetherlands in the same competition at theVRA Cricket Ground, winning a low-scoring match by one wicket.[41]
Afghanistan then took part in the2009 ACC Twenty20 Cup in theUnited Arab Emirates. Afghanistan was drawn in Group A, which Afghanistan topped at the end of the group stages by winning all five of their matches. In the semi-finals the Afghans defeatedKuwait by 8 wickets.[42] In the final they met the hosts, theUnited Arab Emirates, whom they defeated by 84 runs.[43]
On 1 February 2010, Afghanistan played their firstTwenty20 International againstIreland,[44] which they lost by 5 wickets.[45] On 13 February 2010, Afghanistan defeated the United Arab Emirates by 4 wickets to make their way to the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 to be in the West Indies in April 2010. Later the same day, they defeated Ireland by 8 wickets in the Final of2010 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier to win the qualifier.[46] Afghanistan were inGroup C of the main tournament, withIndia andSouth Africa. During their first match againstIndia, opening batsmanNoor Ali hit 50 runs, helping Afghanistan to a score of 115 in their 20 overs. Despite this they lost the match by 8 wickets.[47] In their second match, the team were reduced to 14/6 at one stage, before a late rally fromMirwais Ashraf andHamid Hassan helped Afghanistan post 88 all out, resulting in a loss by 59 runs.[48]
The team's Intercontinental Cup campaign continued in 2010, with wins overIreland,Canada,Scotland andKenya before they beat Scotland by 7 wickets in the final inDubai.[49] Also in 2010, they won the ACC Trophy Elite tournament inKuwait, beatingNepal in the final[50] and finished third inDivision One of theWorld Cricket League in theNetherlands.[51] They took part in thecricket tournament at the2010 Asian Games inChina and won the silver medal, losing toBangladesh in the final.[52]
In 2011, Afghanistan begun the2011-13 ICC World Cricket League Championship. They beatCanada and drew with the UAE.[53] In the parallel one-day league, they won two matches against Canada and lost twice to theUAE.[54] In December once again took part in the ACC Twenty20 Cup, this time inNepal. They went on to win all of their matches to once again take the Cup.
On 10 February 2012, Afghanistan played a one-offOne Day International (ODI) match againstPakistan atSharjah, thefirst ever official game between the two sides and also the first ever ODI between anAffiliate and aTest-playing nation.[55] Billed as a historic occasion for Afghan cricket, the game was won comfortably by Pakistan by seven wickets with 13 overs to spare.[56][57] They also took on the Australia Cricket Team in an Only ODI at Sharjah in August 2012. They fell short in both matches, but their performance showed they were continuing to make progress. Their 2012 ICC International Cup games were also challenging, resulting in a split with the Netherlands and a loss to Ireland.
2013 brought greater success for Afghanistan. In March, they played two T20 Internationals against Scotland inUAE and prevailed in both matches. They also won two ODIs in theWorld Cricket League Championship against the same opponents.
In the WCL Championship table, as 2013 dawned Afghanistan was level with Scotland in third, trailing Ireland and the Netherlands for the two automatic qualification spots for the 2015 World Cup. However, two convincing wins in spring over Scotland boosted hopes some. Then in July the Netherlands failed to take any points against Ireland, leaving Afghanistan in a position to qualify if they could win their final four matches against poorer performing Namibia and Kenya. Despite the United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands both being able to win their remaining games, keeping the pressure on Afghanistan, Afghanistan handled Namibia, then defeated Kenya by 8 wickets on 2 October. With one final win over Kenya on 4 October by 7 wickets, Afghanistan secured second in the Championship with 19 points, and qualified for World Cup.[58]
Afghanistan also crushed Scotland in their one-day ICC Intercontinental Cup league in March in Abu Dhabi: Afghanistan (275: Shah 67*, Davey 4–53) beat Scotland (125: Taylor 48*, Dawlatzai 6–57 and 145: Coetzer 57, Dawlatzai 5–37) by an innings and 5 runs. Izatullah Dawlatzai took eleven wickets.[59]
In July 2014, Afghanistan touredZimbabwe to play its 1st full series against a full member. The 4 match ODI series finished 2–2 and the 2 match first-class series finished 1–1.
With their victoryover Zimbabwe on 25 December 2015, Afghanistan entered the top 10 of theICC's ODI rankings for the first time.[60]
Afghanistan became an Affiliate member of the ICC in 2001. Then in 2009 it had attained one-day status until 2015.
In 2012, theAsian Cricket Council decided to nominate Afghanistan for Associate membership with the ICC, with the request being looked into at the ICC's annual conference in June. Becoming an Associate would mean higher funding (the ICC had been paying $700,000 in annual funding to Afghanistan's organization, suggested to rise to $850,000 for Associate status), and also importantly would mean more exposure for the passionate and cricket-starved players from war-torn Afghanistan.[61][62]
In March 2013, Afghanistan received a further support boost when a two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between theAfghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) andPakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the development of Afghanistan cricket ahead of the 2015 World Cup.
The PCB provided technical and professional support, including game-education programmes, coaching courses, skill and performance analysis, and basic umpiring and curator courses. High performance camps for emerging players were also organised. The PCB-regulatedNational Cricket Academy (NCA) helped in improving technical, tactical, mental and physical skills and hosted lectures on doping, anti-corruption and various codes of conduct.[63]
In April 2013, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) was also allocated US$422,000 (22,400,000 AFN approx.) from the ICC's targeted assistance and performance programme. The world governing body of cricket approved the grant at its IDI (ICC Development International) board meeting, which concluded in Dubai. The money, to be given over three years, was aimed at developing more competitive teams among ICC Full, Associate and Affiliate members. Previous countries to receive similar funding programmes included the Netherlands, Scotland, the West Indies, Zimbabwe and Ireland. An ICC statement suggested the funding was targeted towards the development of the National Cricket Academy in Kabul.
On 26 June 2013, at the ICC's annual meeting in London, England, Afghanistan received itsAssociate Membership[64] with the statement:
Qualification for the tournament was a historic feat for cricket in Afghanistan, one amplified by the fact that the team included many players who picked up the game in refugee camps outside their war-torn country.[65]
Afghanistan made their World Cup debut in the2015 Cricket World Cup in which their first game was againstBangladesh at theManuka Oval in Canberra, Australia. The match resulted in a 105 run defeat.[66] On 26 February 2015, Afghanistan won their first World Cup match against Scotland, winning by one wicket. The team, however, lost all its remaining games and was knocked out of the tournament in the opening round.
The2019 Cricket World Cup was the second Cricket World Cup in which Afghanistan participated in, and the first consecutive World Cup appearance for the time. This World Cup was in a "round robin" format where Afghanistan faced all the other teams but did not manage to claim victory against any national team in the tournament for the first time in their short history in the World Cup tournament.[67]
In the2023 Cricket World Cup, Afghanistan secured a victory by 69 runs against the defending champions,England, in their third match of the World Cup on 15 October 2023. This was the first time Afghanistan defeated England and the first time Afghanistan defeated the defending Cricket World Cup champions.[68] They also defeated Pakistan in ODI cricket for the first time.[69] They also defeated Sri Lanka for the first time in the Cricket World Cup by 7 wickets on 30 October 2023. This was also the first time in a Cricket World Cup that Afghanistan had won two matches consecutively. In the following match, they defeated the Netherlands for the first time in the Cricket World Cup. This was the first time Afghanistan achieved three consecutive victories in the Cricket World Cup.
The team visited Zimbabwe for the second time in October, where Afghanistan clinched a historic one-day international series over Zimbabwe after a 73-run victory in Bulawayo saw them win 3–2.
In doing so, they became the first non-Test-playing country to win a multi-game bilateral ODI series against a Test side. The Afghanistan cricket team toured the United Arab Emirates to play the United Arab Emirates cricket team in December 2016. The tour consisted of three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. Afghanistan won the series 3–0. The Afghanistan cricket team toured Bangladesh in September and October 2016 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) matches. This was Afghanistan's first full series against a Test-playing side other than Zimbabwe and was the first bilateral series between the two sides.
Ahead of the ODI series, there was a fifty-over warm-up game between the Bangladesh Cricket Board XI and Afghanistan in Fatullah. Afghanistan won the warm-up match by 66 runs and Bangladesh won the ODI series 2–1.
In February 2017 theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) awardedfirst-class status to Afghanistan's four-day domestic competition.[70]
The Afghan cricket team touredZimbabwe between January and February 2017. The tour consisted of fiveOne Day International (ODI) matches. Prior to the ODI series, the Afghanistan A cricket team played five "unofficial" ODI matches against the Zimbabwe A cricket team. All of those matches had been designated List A status. Afghanistan won the initial List A series 4–1 and the ODI series 3–2.2017
TheIreland cricket team toured India during March 2017 to participate in aseries of matches against Afghanistan, consisting of three T20 matches, five ODI contests and anICC Intercontinental Cup match.[71] All the matches took place inGreater Noida. The Afghan team were highly successful, emerging victorious in both the T20I series 3–0 and the ODI series 3–2. Afghanistan also won the ICC Intercontinental Cup match, by the margin of an innings and 172 runs.
The Afghanistan cricket team completed anothertour in June 2017, this time facing theWest Indies.[72] The tour marked Afghanistan's first bilateral tour against a full member nation other than Zimbabwe. (Later that month, Afghanistan itself was awarded that status.) The tour was less successful for the Afghans, who were convincingly defeated 3–0 in the T20 series.[73] They performed better in the ODI series, seizing a 1–1 draw after the final match was washed out with no result. Afghanistan registered their first win against Sri Lanka inAsia Cup.
Afghanistan qualified for2012 ICC World Twenty20 held in Sri Lanka as the runner-up of theICC World Twenty20 Qualifier and joinedIndia andEngland in the group stage. In the first match against India on 19 September, Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field. India posted 159/5 in 20 overs but Afghanistan fell short of that target by scoring 136 in 19.3 overs. In the second match against England on 21 September, Afghanistan won the toss and again elected to field. England set a target of 196/5 (20 overs) but Afghanistan were all out for 80 in 17.2 overs. England and India qualified for the Super Eights and Afghanistan was eliminated as a result of this match.
On 3 October 2013, Afghanistan beatKenya to finish second in the WCL Championship and qualify for the2015 Cricket World Cup, becoming the 20th team to gain entry into the tournament overall. Afghanistan secured their passage toAustralia andNew Zealand in 2015 by beating Kenya comprehensively for the second time in succession in Sharjah, sealing their maiden World Cup qualification. They finished second in the World Cricket League Championship — nine wins in 14 matches — and joinedIreland as the second Associate team in the 2015 World Cup, while the remaining two spots for Associates will be decided by a qualifying tournament in New Zealand in 2014. Afghanistan will join Pool A at the World Cup along with Australia, Bangladesh, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and another qualifier.[74] On 24 November 2013, Afghanistan beat Kenya to qualify for the 2014 T20 world cup.
In March 2014, Afghanistan beatHong Kong in the2014 ICC World Twenty20 but could not make it to the next stage of super 10 having lost the two matches toBangladesh andNepal.
On 25 February 2015, Afghanistan won their firstCricket World Cup match, beatingScotland by one wicket. Afghanistan participated in theWorld Twenty20 2016 in India. They were unable to qualify for the Semi-Finals of the International Tournament. They defeated the eventual champions,West Indies, during their final group match of the tournament.
Their third match was against the full member test teamZimbabwe. They played exceptionally well, beating Zimbabwe by 59 runs. Afghanistan qualified for the Super 10 stage of the tournament as a result of this match, while Zimbabwe were eliminated. Afghanistan progressed to the second phase of a World Twenty20 tournament for the first time. On 25 June 2016,Lalchand Rajput was named as head coach of Afghanistan Cricket Team replacingPakistan'sInzamam ul Haq with his first outings with the team being a tour ofScotland,Ireland and theNetherlands in July and August of that year. He was chosen ahead ofMohammad Yousuf,Herschelle Gibbs andCorey Collymore[75]Rajput is in line for a two-year contract, but that decision would be finalised after the upcoming tour of Europe.
In July 2016, ACB unveiled a strategic plan and set targets for Afghanistan cricket team to be a top-six ODI team by 2019 and a top-three team in both T20Is and ODIs by 2025.[76] In order to achieve this,ACB created a proposal to be presented toBCCI, to secure annual bilateral matches against India and teams touring India beginning the following year.[77] Shafiq Stanikzai, Chief Executive ofACB, said the draft had been presented to BCCI president Anurag Thakur in May and further discussions occurred during the ICC Annual Conference in Edinburgh in June 2016.
On 25 July 2016, Afghanistan confirmed its first full series againstWest Indies a top-8 ranked Full member.[78] Its earlier full series came against a permanent member of ICC was againstZimbabwe. Afghanistan toured the Caribbean islands in mid-June 2017 and played 5 ODIs and 3 T20Is.
On the same day, it was announced that Afghanistan would host a full series againstIreland atGreater Noida.[79] Besides a 4-day intercontinental cup match,Ireland and Afghanistan would play five ODIs and three T20Is in March 2017. Afghanistan won the T20I series 3-0 and in the process set a new T20I record of 11 consecutive victories.
On 22 June 2017, theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) awarded Afghanistan full Test status, along withIreland.[80] In December 2017, the ICC confirmed that Afghanistan were scheduled to play their first Testagainst India, in late 2018.[81] According to theICC Future Tours Programme for 2019–23, Afghanistan are scheduled to play thirteen Tests.[82] In January 2018, both the ACB and the BCCI confirmed the Test would be played in June inBengaluru.[83][84]
In June 2018, Afghanistan lost their maiden Test match to hostsIndia by an innings and 262 runs, despite being able to bowl out a strong Indian team in the first innings.
InMarch 2019 against Ireland, Afghanistan achieved their first Test match victory in their only second Test match, becoming the fourth team afterAustralia,England andPakistan to win one of their first two Tests.[85][86]
In September 2019, Afghanistan beat hostsBangladesh by 224 runs in a one-off Test tour. Rain almost resulted in the match being drawn, but finally the weather cleared, allowing the spin-unit of Afghanistan to take the final four wickets.[87]
In August 2021, concerns and doubts were raised over the participation of the Afghanistan national cricket team in the future international matches afterthe Taliban retook control of Afghanistan.[88][89] Concerns were raised over the safety of Afghan national cricketers and their families who were still in Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover on 15 August 2021.[90] As of 31 August 2021[update], three of theAfghanistan women's national cricket team had evacuated to Canada, while the others were afraid of how they,as women, would be treated by the Taliban.[91] The women's team was effectively disbanded.
Taliban spokesmen stated that the Taliban would not disrupt the men's cricket team's participation in international matches and that they would allow Afghanistan to play its first everbilateral series against Pakistan in Sri Lanka which was scheduled to start in September 2021.[92][93] The Pakistan Cricket Board announced in August 2021 that the tour would be rescheduled to 2022. This was later moved to 2023 and the tour took place between 24 – 27 March 2023.[94]
Despite the ICC requirement for member countries to organize a women's national team for full membership status, the Afghanistan men's national team is allowed to still compete.[95]
Afghanistan typically do not play their home matches in Afghanistan due to theongoing security situation and the lack of international standard facilities. Afghanistan played their 'home'Intercontinental Cup fixture against Ireland at theRangiri Dambulla International Stadium inSri Lanka. Following Afghanistan's World Twenty20 qualifying campaign they played two One Day Internationals against Canada at theSharjah Cricket Association Stadium in theUAE.[96]
As plans to resurrect Afghan cricket developed, at least three international standard cricket stadiums have been built in Afghanistan. In 2016,Shahid Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex inGreater Noida became the home ground for the Afghanistan national cricket team after they decided to shift their home ground fromSharjah.[97][98][99] In June 2018, after acquiring test status, Afghanistan changed their home base toRajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun,India.[100] In May 2019,Afghanistan Cricket Board requestedBCCI for a new home stadium.[101] In August 2019, BCCI approvedEkana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, India as the new home stadium for the team.[102]
The following are the main cricket stadiums in Afghanistan:
