Out of the Ashes

In just a few years, the Afghan cricket team has risen from obscurity in the sport's lowest ranks to phenomenal success in the highly competitive international arena.

This is the remarkable and inspirational story of coach Taj Malik Aleem and his team, who became the sport's unlikeliest heroes during a triumphant campaign culminating in the crucial World Cup qualifier in South Africa. In a country more often associated with war and rigged elections, their incredible journey is an absolute joy to behold.
