This is a “Cinderella” story about young men rising from the dusty fields of refugee camps in Pakistan who grow up to challenge the world powers of cricket — and win. This is the beginning of a magnificent story that will inspire Afghans for many generations to come.
May God Bless Afghanistan!

That was a day of joy and proud!
I personally participated in welcome convoy of the national heroes.
It was a spectacular scene. People from every corner of the country and every walk of life were there to welcome the champions.
