Taliban did not took over the country, they were the native people of the Afghanistan. It was American who were trying to take over them, and they failed.

Sad to see that a terrorist could take over a country like that and the US created this mess and they are leaving in the mess they started during the cold war era. You cannot call them the native people as there are people in the group from different countries.

Afghanistan and Taliban are very friendly over the sports and you will find a very strong cricket team emerging from Afghanistan. I don't know about the short term position for them in the T20 world cup because ICC will take the decision based upon the pressure from the global media. But in the long run, Afghanistan will be a strongest cricket nation too.

Cricket in Afghanistan started to rise after the US invasion and you think that the Taliban will be allowing sports Cheesy

. Opium and money is what they want and power, they do not care about anything else.

Guess in the last meeting ICC mentioned about maximum 12-14 teams for the first tourney. On automatic qualification Our PIG 3 were reluctant to play any qualification matches due to schedule and other cricketing nation also in favor of existing ICC ranking based qualification, we have to wait and watch for the final confirmation. T-10 seems perfect for Olympics but ICC already cleared that they will start this journey with the T-20.

In the Olympic football tournament, a total of 16 teams took part and this will be an ideal number for the cricket tournament, IMO. But the big question is regarding automatic qualification. In the Olympics, only the host nation gains automatic qualification (and for the 2028 Olympics, that means the United States will gain direct entry). Everyone else (including teams like Brazil and Spain) played qualifier matches. And I don't think that the Pig-3 are going to accept this. Imagine India playing against Myanmar and England playing against Bulgaria. Grin

There is an interesting piece of news regarding the possible inclusion of cricket in 2028 Olympics.

Sharda Ugra analyses some of the challenges we may face before cricket gets included in the Olympics. He has listed a few important questions:

1. How many teams should compete in the main tournament?
2. How many teams should be given automatic qualification?
3. Which format should be in use? T20 or T10?

The new Government in Afganisthan should allow its national team to play in the upcoming world cup. They still have time and the decision should be out before the world cup starts. I do not see any reason to stop the team now from playing.

World Twenty20 Cricket Cup is fast approaching. Afghanistan cricket team now faces major concern after the Taliban took over the country. Afghanistan's cricket board is confident that it will be able to participate in the World T20. The Taliban might oppose sports, but we have to wait and see. According to my understanding, Taliban should allow Cricket.

The Taliban will not oppose the sport. And the Taliban have already said that Afghanistan will participate in the next World Cup. However, the president of the Afghanistan Cricket Board has been removed. And the Taliban has appointed an employee of their choice as board president. If no new war breaks out in Afghanistan before the next World Cup, Afghanistan will participate in the World Cup.

I have a question isn’t there a rule of ICC which says governments can’t interfere with the cricket board, but with Taliban in place Afghanistan will be in breach of this rule. Also will other countries welcome Afghanistan player’s now, because there’s always a risk of Taliban fighters boarding with the team, and hence I feel that it’s the end of road for Afghanistan national player’s.

Afghanistan will not be compared with other countries at the moment. A war-torn country. If the ICC bans the Afghanistan Cricket Board according to their rules, then the future of Afghanistan cricket ends here. Because Afghanistan will never allow an independent cricket board to be formed. They must establish their authority over the board. However, the ICC has not yet issued an official statement on Afghanistan.

If the ICC goes by it's rulebook, then Afghanistan will be suspended from the primary membership and the national team will not be allowed in to any of the ICC tournaments.

Do you think that the Afghanistan players will agree to participate in the world cup, when their families are under siege form the Taliban? A lot of violence is going on there and huge number of people have been made refugees. One plus point is that cricket is one of the sporting activities that is allowed under the Taliban. The Afghanistan national cricket team played its first match, when Taliban was in power (2001?). I am looking towards the CPL, which is about to start next week. Several Afghan players are included in the franchise squads. If they participate in the CPL, then that would mean these players will be available for the World cup as well.

ICC cannot take steps to improve their performance, they will provide the funds and their cricket board has to find young talents and help them improve their game.

David Wiese the former South African player will be making his debut for Namibia and it is an advantage for them even though i have not seen him performing well when he was in the South African squad, maybe he will be performing far better in a team like Namibia as he will be getting all the freedom unlike playing in a competitive South African squad.

The ICC hasn't done much to help the smaller teams, after Jagmohan Dalmiya was kicked out as the ICC president two decades ago. On paper they provide some amount of funding. But due to the change in eligibility criteria, this mostly goes to teams like Oman and the UAE, who bring Indian and Pakistani nationals to represent them. Teams with native players, such as Namibia, Kenya, Papua New Guinea and Nepal have seen their rankings go down and the funding decline in the recent years.

I don't know why their ranking is so low, but I consider them as one of the strongest associate nations. They haven't played a lot of matches lately, and that may be the reason why their ranking is low. I still remember the match between Namibia and England in 2003 world cup. At one point, Namibia was ahead in the D/L par score. ~

16 nations will participate in upcoming T20 world cup. Namibia is the last ranked team among them. All other nations staying ahead of Namibia in the Men's T20I Team Rankings. And you are talking about an old match. Things has changed a lot since than. Other cricket team has made a lot of improvement. Namibia isn't a new team in cricket. ICC should take some steps so that lower rank teams can gradually improve their performance.

What is the issue with Namibia's ranking? if their board cannot spend money for the development of the team, how can ICC help them? Does ranking matters now? If the team performs well in the world cup automatically they will get recognised and their ranking will improve. If they are out in the first round no one will be asking about them.

The new Government in Afganisthan should allow its national team to play in the upcoming world cup. They still have time and the decision should be out before the world cup starts. I do not see any reason to stop the team now from playing.

One of the most popular franchise T20 leagues around the world, the Caribbean Premier League 2021 edition will be starting next week. As usual, there are a number of big names, both from West Indies and from abroad participating in the tournament. In the Indian subcontinent, the matches will be shown live on Star Sports, with Hostar providing live streaming. Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine, Shimron Hetmyer, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Fletcher are some of the big names from West Indies. Among the overseas players, we have Faf du Plessis, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Amir and Colin Munro.

Looking forward to watching the Caribbean Premier League. The matches here are very competitive and enjoyable. Although the main reason I watch the Caribbean League is that I try to bet on almost every match here. I never miss a chance to bet on IPL and Caribbean League matches.

Wow The two players Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez are in form from the KPL and good to see them action in Caribbean Premier League 2021. I just checked and found that both of them belongs to Guyana Amazon Warriors thus making it my favorite team

The Big final for KPL 2021 is about to start in less than 30 minutes. These are the two best teams of the tournament and meeting in the final. They have previously meet in the pool matches and in the Qualifier 1 and both matches were a thriller. ~
Who will win this Final , SHAHID AFRIDI or MUHAMMAD HAFEEZ ?

Maybe Muzaffarabad Tigers (Mohammad Hafeez team) will win this match. Rawalakot Hawks has given a target of 170 runs. And Muzaffarabad Tigers has started their innings perfectly. BTW, KPL started a few days ago and it's ending very quickly! It is one of the shortest T20 league I have ever seen.

I thought that too thought out the match that Muzaffarabad Tigers will win as they played the better cricket but i felt that some unseen forces (which people can't see) wanted shahid Afradi team should win and they really won in the end.

KPL next edition will consists of Seven teams instead of six as announced yesterday in the presentation ceremony and this will increase the duration of the tournament also.

Overall, KPL is a good entry in the list of franchises. We will see international players participation also in future.

The ICC has announced that the participating nations will be allowed to bring a total of 15 players and 8 officials to UAE/Oman. And the list of the individuals need to be submitted before 10th September. Additional players can be brought as reserve but the participating nations need to take care of the expenses of these players. Smaller nations will be at a disadvantage here, in case any of their squad members test positive for COVID. Now we have less than two months to go, to the start of the world cup.

I think the team that New Zealand has announced in the T20 series with Bangladesh VS New Zealand is definitely the wrong decision for them. Because Bangladesh is a very strong team at their home ground. As a result, Australia suffered a few days ago. This will also be good preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup for Bangladesh. This is a great opportunity for Bangladesh
