​By a staff reporter :



Taliban have approved Afghanistan first cricket Test since their takeover, saying the Afghan team can play with other international teams.

This overture by the Taliban has raised hopes that sports will continue as usual under the terror group. Notably, the organised sport was prohibited under the previous Taliban regime. The deputy head of the Taliban’s cultural commission Ahmadullah Wasiq indicated the terror group supported its staging, saying all previously organised matches “will continue without interruption, and can play with other international teams".
