1877 was the year when the game of cricket was originated when England took on Australia at Melbourne. Afghanistan, when they take on India on 14th June, will become 12th team to play Test cricket. The Afghanistan cricket team has come a long way in the last 5-6 years and this momentous occasion will no doubt bring the best out of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan will be taking on No 1 ranked Test side India in their own backyard and defeating the men in blue will be an uphill task. But, the game of cricket is not played on paper and whichever team competes well on the given day will clinch the match. As this will be the maiden Test, we don’t know much about the Afghanistan players.
