Opening post

Any predictions on what will happen to cricket in Afghanistan now that the Taliban are back in-charge? A team in exile surely can't last long without a solid domestic scene back home. How does one unearth new talent if the entire team is based in India? I know previously the Taliban supported cricket, but they are likely still the same stone-age barbarians they were previously so we will see what that means for cricket. I doubt anyone will be wanting to play in the Afghan T20 League anymore.

As I said Afghanistan are like ICC's favourite boys. They won't ever suspend them.

India will surely play them, BCCI and ACB are quite friendly.

Lance 'Zulu' Klusener and Shaun Tait have both quit from the head coach and fast bowling coach of Afghanistan cricket team.

As I expected, Afghanistan won't attract any foreign interest and probably their downfall has begun. They may yet get some low profile subcontinent coaches for the time being. Is Andy Flower still with them? It's a shocker if he is still continuing.

Afghans are planning on getting UAE residency permits for their team to avoid visa trouble during away tours. That's quite clever...hope it works out for them.
