Afghan cricket team in high spirits after returning to training, official said

KABUL: Afghan National Cricket Team felt “excited” after continuing training in the capital this week, only a few days after the Taliban won control of the country, the Head of the Cricket Council said Friday.
Following the collapse of the government on weekends, Hamid Shinwari said the team once again prepared their one day series against Pakistan, scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka in two weeks.
“The atmosphere in the camp is very passionate,” Shinwari told AFP.
“We will send a team to Sri Lanka after the flight operation is continued and for that we are related to the authorities,” Shinwari said.
Chaos broke out at Kabul Airport this week because tens of thousands of Afghans tried to escape militants, which swept the country mostly not placed by government security forces.
Sports controlled by the Islamic fundamentalist group during their first government in the country in the 1990s, was often seen by militants as a disruption of religious tasks.
Women are completely prohibited to take part.
However, Shinwari said he did not see a threat to the cricket of the movement.
“Cricket was not a problem during the previous Taliban regime and it would not be a problem now.
I don’t remember anything caused by the Taliban for the cricket,” he said.
Shinwari said he could not comment on the status of women’s cricket but the situation would be clearer in the coming weeks.
Star Spin Bowler and T20 Captain Rashid Khan and all Mohammad Nabi’s rounder currently plays a hundred tournaments in England.
Both of them make peaceful requests in their country before the takeover of the Taliban.
But most other national players are in Afghanistan.
The Sri Lankan cricket board earlier this week said he still hoped to host Afghanistan and Pakistan for three matches at the empty stadium in Hambantota.
One-day international series began on September 3.
It shifted to Sri Lanka after the stadium in the United Arab Emirates – where Afghanistan played their home match – instead preparing to host the Indian Premier League.
The Afghan cricket board also announced his twenty20 league, to start from September 10 in Kabul.
“We are committed to doing so well and lifting Afghan cricket.
We have a very good relationship with Pakistani and Indian cricket boards and we are part of the international cricket community,” he said.
