In a week’s time Afghanistan will play in their first cricket World Cup, a T20 competition in the West Indies.  The incredible rise of Afghanistan’s cricket team through the ranks to the centre stage of cricket has been nothing short of incredible.  One hopes that the fastest growing and most popular sport in Afghanistan can help give the nation hope.  Can sport help to heal wounds, forget war and bridge gaps?
