Afghanistan team invited to play in Pakistan domestic cricket

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has accepted the request of Afghanistan to include them in the Cornelius Trophy that begins January 21, 2003. As a gesture of goodwill and in view of PCB's policy of promoting and assisting developing neighbouring countries, the PCB will also provide financial assistance to Afghanistan beside a qualified coach.

Afghanistan also participated in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy Grade-II Championship last season. The tournament has been renamed as Cornelius Trophy from the 2002-2003 season.
