Afghanistan’s Shpageeza Cricket League brings hope for local talents

Fans have been flocking to Afghanistan's fledgling Shpageeza Cricket League – a Twenty20 tournament – which was marred by last week's bomb blast outside the Kabul International Stadium. The Shpageeza Cricket League, first launched in 2013, is in its fifth season and features about two dozen overseas players from South Africa, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Oman. Local cricketers look at the tournament as critical for gaining valuable experience, especially as it offers them a chance to learn from foreign players. (Video courtesy: SNTV)
