Video of cricket in Afghanistan

In April, Matthew Fleming headed to Afghanistan to open cricket pitches and spread the good name of MCC - and, indeed, the sport - among rural communities in the country. It was a triumph, and Leslie Knott - one of the film-makers following Afghanistan's national team - has put up a video of Fleming's tour, which you can see below.

Nice video,but the way Afghan team is playing(beating both Ireland and Scotland in WCQ),it will be not too far before India plays Afghanistan.Cricket is fulfilling what football has done to Iraq.

Spectacular video, really the spirit of cricket....Cricket should be promoted in Afghanistan. They have done a great job in qualifiers.
