Who We Are
A Nation Redefining Its Place In World Cricket
The Afghanistan Premier League is built by the Afghanistan Cricket Board — the governing body that took Afghan cricket from ICC newcomer to Full Member and T20 World Cup semi-finalist in under a decade.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board
A Federation Built For Global Standards
Since gaining ICC Full Member status in 2017, the Afghanistan Cricket Board has professionalized every layer of the game — grassroots academies, domestic structures, and a High-Performance Center in Kabul. The Afghanistan Premier League is the next milestone: a flagship T20 competition designed to give elite Afghan talent a permanent, professional home on the international stage.
