The Afghanistan national cricket team represents Afghanistan in international cricket. Cricket was initially banned by the Taliban, but cricket became an exception in 2000 (being the only sport in Afghanistan to be approved by the Taliban) and the Afghanistan Cricket Federation was elected as an affiliate member of the ICC the following year.
Afghanistan had become an Affiliate member of the ICC in 2001. Then in 2009, it attained one-day status until 2015. They are currently developing their domestic cricket infrastructure, and have signed a two-year deal with the Pakistan board for the development of Afghanistan cricket ahead of the 2015 World Cup.
Afghanistan made their World Cup debut in the 50-over format of the game against Bangladesh at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, Australia. The match resulted in a 105-run defeat.
The competition saw the team compete against elite cricketing nations such as Australia, India, Sri Lanka, South Africa, New Zealand, and England. Qualification for the tournament was a historic feat for cricket in Afghanistan, one amplified by the fact that the team included many players who picked up the game in refugee camps outside their long-suffering country.
On 26 February 2015, Afghanistan won its first World Cup match against Scotland, winning by one wicket. The team, however, lost all its remaining games and was knocked out of the tournament in the opening round.
