Thousands of fans turned out at the Kabul International Cricket Stadium to see the famous players.
Kabul – Afghan student Basit Wali Hotak travelled hundreds of kilometres overnight to Kabul on Thursday for the chance to glimpse his cricket hero, Rashid Khan, on a home pitch.
Hotak left the southern city of Kandahar on Wednesday night to reach Kabul by 6 am , sleeping only an hour before rushing to the stadium. "For Rashid Khan, even if the ticket was 1,000 Afghanis , I would still have bought one," said the 21-year-old, who has a picture of the Afghan sensation as his phone background.Much to Hotak's dismay, Khan and other star players expected to join the match between the Speenghar Tigers and Mis-e-Ainak Knights were not part of the playing eleven.
"If you see my room and my social media accounts, they are flooded with photos of king Rashid Khan," said 18-year-old Abid Usmani from Kapisa, who had printed a banner covered with Khan photos.During the match, a chant of "heroes, long live heroes" periodically boomed from loudspeakers, occasionally drawing jubilant responses from the crowd.
