Don't you think they can turn out to be another Kenya? Kenya was a talented team and went 2 the semi finals 1 world cup and look where they are now..They look like they have a lot of talent but their gonna need good academies placed in and also a decent domestic infrastructure.;.

i feel the same about afghans.

kenyan cricket never grew beyond the neighborhood of nairobi gymkhana cricket ground.

can anybody tell how much cricket is played in Afghanistan ??? how is their domestic infrastructure ???

well they did chase down 494, even if its against Ireland, chasing 400+ is no joke. so they do have some cricket in them but you are right they do need a lot of work on their techniques. well this is our first time watching them play, so I think next time we them play again say like next world T20, then we'll be able to tell how fast they are capable of improving. as for funding, it will be really tough. Specially with ICC only interested in investing big money in U.S.A. is not fair to the rest of the world, but it is what it is. they have to show improvement even with these difficulties, and keep their hopes up.
