KABUL:
Afghanistan’s cricket chief welcomed the prospect of a tour by England’s Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), but said he had so far had no contact from the venerable club about a possible visit. MCC President Phillip Hodson told the BBC that he was going to Kabul to assess facilities and said the club could take a team to the war-torn country in the near future. Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) Chief Executive Nasimullah Danish said the cricket community was excited at the prospect of an MCC tour and urged Hodson to get in touch. “We have had no formal contact from the MCC or Hodson regarding his visit to Kabul or plans for a tour but we are looking forward to hearing more and would like to have an opportunity to formally discuss a possible tour.”
