The Afghan national cricket team, which narrowly failed to qualify for the cricket World Cup finals, has made a triumphant return to Kabul.
The team missed out at a qualification tournament in South Africa by one place but did win one-day international status for the next four years.
Hundreds of cricket fans turned up at Kabul airport on Tuesday to greet their cricketing heroes.
The fans performed a traditional Afghan dance, the Atan, and played Dohl drums.
Members of parliament and Afghan officials were also among the welcoming party.

We can build a bunch of stadiums to steer the young towards a useful pursuit. I believe cricket is huge in that region.

1. Does a $208 million dollar minor league stadium solve the problems of American cities?

It surely did not solve the problems here in Rochester when we built TWO of them in the last ten years.

What these folks need are solid, decent paying jobs.

The solution is pretty universal.
