The Future
In December 2011, Afghanistan took part in the ACC Twenty20 Cup in Nepal, where they were drawn in the same group as Hong Kong, Oman, Kuwait and the Maldives. The event was a qualifier for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, but Afghanistan have already qualified for the event in the United Arab Emirates. Further matches in the 2011-13 Intercontinental Cup and the associated one-day league will be played in 2012 against the Netherlands and Ireland and in 2013 against Scotland, Namibia and Kenya. Afghanistan will play its first One Day International against a Full Member of the International Cricket Council in February 2012 when they will play a single match against Pakistan at Sharjah. Afghanistan will be taking on Australia Cricket Team for only ODI at Sharjah in August 2012 .

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“It lives less in the present
Than in the future always,
And less in both together
Than in the past.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
