Afghanistan has not hosted any international cricket matches within its own territory due to security issues and political instability in the country.

There have been so many games scheduled in Afghanistan in the FTP over the years, but have never taken place. But hopefully it happens. It's good for cricket and good for Afghanistan," Rashid Khan said.
