What's new

IHC ordered the Ministry of interior to grant Pakistani citizenship to a young Afghan migrant family born in Pakistan.

Do members of Afghan cricket team originate from Pakistan?
Not sure about the afghan cricketers specifically but like i assume most of them were refugees who grew up and trained in Pakistan, like these other refugees who claim Pakistani citizenship. If you think that growing up in Pakistan made all these other refugees loyal or at least not-hostile to Pakistan, one would assume that this applied to the afghan cricketers as well. I am not saying they drop our catches (looking at you, indians), but at least be a force for positivity in people to people relations.

Unfortunately they have more connections within our babu system specially police then us ...
In the 80s when they were coming into the country, land owning chaudaries and deray daars (feudals) here in Central Punjab would offer them sanctuary, and patronage in return from using them as goons. They have become a part of that economy as well, very indispensable to our feudals and the sort.

To this date, nearly all of the squad is made up of lads either born in Pakistan, or who lived most of their lives in Pakistan. It becomes evident when they come to speak at any occasion and you find them fluent in Urdu, but only some of them being able to communicate well in Pashtu or Darri. The Afghan captain, in response to a question from a journalist, was found saying:


You may be surprised to know that the after the start of the WC2019, the ACB requested the ICC and broadcasters to not use Urdu with their players because they found them using Urdu way more frequently than they had wanted. Not long ago, the ACB was furious that some of their players were still living in Pakistan and gave them a notice of two months to return and settle back in Afghanistan as full residents or lose their contracts.

True snakes indeed. This is a result of weakness of Pakistani state.
