The Kings of Kabul

In this Cricket World Cup year, we meet the players trying to take their team to the next level, and hoping their lives might just be transformed in the process.

From the refugee camps of Pakistan to top flight competition, Afghan cricket has had an amazing journey. The national team was formed in 2001, after players learnt to play cricket in the refugee camps of Pakistan, and the team is now ranked tenth in the world. But this isn't just a sport. It's a passion that unites a country torn apart by 40 years of war. In this World Cup year, we meet the players trying to take their team to the next level, and hoping their lives might just be transformed in the process.
