A single ODI between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been played in Dubai. As expected, Pakistan won the match by 7 wickets convincingly. Despite results, this match was an historic movement for Afghans. Being neighbor to Pakistan Afghans are fond of cricket. Most of the Afghan youths grown in the refugees camps of Pakistan. In those days Imran, Wasim and Waqar where their heroes. In their childhood they used the ball prepared of old clothes for playing cricket. They used the wood of washing cloth (Sobarhay) as a bat. Most of the members of the current Afghan team played domestic cricket in Pakistan.
The love for sports of Afghans youths tells us that this is a peace loving nation. They love to play sports. They want to develop peaceful relationship with other Nations through sports. But unfortunately other nations have made Afghanistan a battlefield for their own interest.
This is the need of the time to provide regular chances to Afghan cricket team to play against big teams. ICC has to play a vital role in providing them chances. Because looking into the interest of Afghans in cricket, one can expect that cricket can play a vital role in bringing peace in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has suffered massively. Now these people should be given a chance to live peacefully.
