Would be nice.Great deal oflocal interest in the game and some promising kids.

Only problem are the Taliban. They've killed umpires and players in the past. They don't approve of sport.

They've reached the Super 8s in the WC qualifiers and have upset both Scotland and Ireland the latter being no mean acheivement in itself.

All the relevant details. All the teams are within a shout for WC qualification. The depth is broader than previou years and a few starlets in the making.

Kenya have been the disappointment and unfortunately countries like England seem intent on hindering the progress of teams like Ireland.

They've achieved ODI status after beating Namibia today:
