The historic Test that the whole country of Afghanistan was waiting for will finally begin tomorrow. After Ireland’s impressive debut Test against Pakistan, the Afghans will have the challenge of facing a formidable Indian team on their home turf. This is the first ever Test match of Afghanistan.
The debutant nation has taken giant strides in the Cricket world and has already established themselves as a nation which fights hard. Afghanistan has its superstars who have dominated the white ball cricket and will be eager to perform powerfully against India.
