The 2025 edition of the Kabul Premier League began on Friday (October 10). Here's all you need to know about the upcoming season.
The third edition of the season kicked off in style, as Kabul Zalmia and Kabul Knight Riders had to be separated only after a Super Over. Several prominent Afghanistan players will be in action, including Hazratullah Zazai, Qais Ahmad, Karim Janat and Noor Ahmad. Youngsters Wafiullah Tarakhil and Khalid Taniwal, who impressed in the Shpageeza Cricket League earlier this year, are also part of the league.
