Afghanistan team is going to be one of the surprise packages of the upcoming series of the ICC World Cup T20 2012. The team has nothing to lose, no reputation on the line and nothing to prove. They should be the most relaxed team in the series and play the game well. They are one of those teams that are not an automatic member of the International Cricket Council of the world. They had to earn their spot in the ICC World Cup T20 2012 through a tournament of qualifiers that was organized by the International Cricket Council of the world during the later months of 2011.
The Team of Afghanistan, according to the rules, qualified for the World Series as they had reached the finals along with Ireland who beat them in the match. In spite of that, Afghanistan should be respected for the spirit that had driven them to try for the world series of T20 cricket and then actually qualify for the games given the war-ravaged condition of the country where there is hardly any organization and zero infrastructure for sports. They have only two matches in their win list and are in the tenth position in the list of ranking of the cricket playing nations of the world listed by the International Cricket Council of the world regarding Twenty Twenty cricket of the world. They are holding on to the tenth position with as much as 11 points and a rating of 500. The expectations are not too high with the team in the upcoming series of the ICC World Cup T20 2012 but surely, it is going to be a test of the potential of the team.
The team has qualified for the World Series and they come from such an extreme conditioned nation. Therefore, it is only going to be interesting to see the team of Afghanistan play in the series of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2012.
