For cricket, ICC World Cup group stage is now toward the close. Top four proceed to the semi finals. Current standings are here (as of 29th June). Australia, India and New Zealand seem to pass this stage. Pakistan, England, and Bangladesh are competing for the remaining one seat.
But my eye is on Afganistan, that have not got the first win yet and stay the lowest position. I support Afganistan in this competition. Afganistan, one of the Asian countries, is now re-constructing its governing system after long long term turmoil. Many people are still forced in unstable lives. But cricket popularity is quite high and much of Afghan are support their squad from their country.
I think it is admirable Afganistan squad is now in England, regardless whether they get one winning or not. I wish the squad to show people the first wining on the last game, it will be held 4th July against West Indies.
Let me share an article about Afganistan cricket from the BBC.
