Afghanistan Limits Players to Three Leagues
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had a big meeting where they decided that their cricket players can only play in three international leagues each year.
This is besides their own league in Afghanistan and a new league starting in the UAE in 2026.
The board wants to make sure the players are not too tired and can play well for their country.
Important people from the board were there for the meeting, both in person and online.
ACB limits players to three international leagues per year plus the Afghanistan Premier League (APL).
New policy aims to manage player workload and ensure peak performance for national duties.
ACB's five-team franchise-based T20 league to start in October 2026 in the UAE.
Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at ACB headquarters in Kabul.
Key attendees included ACB Chairman Mirwais Ashraf, CEO Naseeb Khan, and other board members.
