So, there is no security of life but such worse situation can’t keep them far from the cricket. This country is none but Afghanistan. The popularity of cricket has broadened all over the Afghanistan. Once a time, cricket was banned in Afghanistan by Taliban rulers like as others games and sports. Cricket is wildly popular in the southern part of Pashtun and the eastern city of Jalalabad. There is a reason of this dramatic rising of popularity of cricket in Afghanistan and that is the end of Taliban rules and establishment of American sovereignty. As a result, war is not a curse but a has become blessing for the cricket of Afghanistan. As cricket was forbidden under the Taliban sovereigns, so people wouldn’t play the cricket openly. But after 2001, people start to play this game all over the country. For the safety of life many people entered into Pakistan crossing the border. Then many people had learnt the cricket in Pakistani refugee camps. Even now most of the players of Afghanistan have to practice the game in Pakistan since the lack of security of life. As a result, they have improved rapidly in cricket to stay the great cricket country, Pakistan. So, war has become a blessing for the cricket of Afghanistan.

After 150 years the cricket has started to become popularity in the Afghanistan under the sovereignty of America and Karji. So, the war for terror elimination has become a blessing for the cricket of Afghanistan. There are many developed countries in the world but they can’t improve any game so rapidly like as Afghanistan. Even, there is no international standard stadium in Afghanistan. As a result, they can’t play any international match in homes. Afghanistan has played their homes matches in another country’s stadium due to lack of security and standard stadium. Afghanistan got One Day International (ODI) status on April 17, 2009 by triumph against Namibia. Afghanistan had taken part the Twinty20 World cup in 2010 in West Indies and that was the first broadcasting game in Afghanistan. Although Afghanistan has not won any match in Twenty20 World Cup but the performance of them was satisfactory. So, despite of a lack of funding and security and others problems, Afghanistan has improved on the field of cricket at over night. It has become possible due to war. If war couldn’t start, people couldn’t go Pakistan for safety. As a result, they couldn’t learn the cricket game as well. So, it may be called that war is not a curse but a blessing for the cricket of Afghanistan.
