Summary
It was filmed during the 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Five in Jersey, a tournament Afghanistan won out of nowhere to kick-start their qualification process for the World T20 in 2010.Gulbadin Naib was 17 years old then. ALSO READ: Rahmat, Naib, Rashid given leadership roles in Afghanistan revampIt must be difficult to come in as a leader at such a time but Gulbadin has ridden the ups and downs of Afghanistan cricket for almost as long as the others. Boycott said that he had now seen Afghanistan and reckoned they were half there already."You look at our history," Gulbadin says. "I said, I play cricket and I have nothing to do with politics and other things," Gulbadin says. They went and played cricket with the boys, who stopped short of pinching themselves.Gulbadin finds himself pinching himself these days. Even playing the World Cup is a big enough honour; being captain is something else."How far that goofy boy has come, you might think, but Gulbadin says he hasn't changed.
