Historic day for Afghanistan

Afghanistan under the captaincy of Asghar Afghan, have managed to secure their first International Test victory against Ireland at Dehradun, winning the game by 7 wickets. Star performer Rashid Khan was once again instrumental in the victory, picking up 7 wickets for the match including a 5 wicket haul in the second innings.

Afghanistan who are just a young cricketing nation, have managed to create so much impact in such a short span of time. While they have been growing rapidly as a team, some of the individuals like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have already created a name for themselves by playing major domestic leagues all around the world. 

This team has really worked hard in spite of not having the best infrastructure and conditions to play cricket at their home. It is just the passion and drive that has got them this far. Hope they continue to grow as a team and become a strong force in all formats. This really is a proud moment not just for the players but also for the entire nation. Kudos to Asghar Afghan and his team.
