Ireland and Afghanistan to get test cricket status

IALA:Ireland and Afghanistan to get test cricket status.

Today I was reading about Ireland and Afghanistan to get test cricket status.And that Afghanistan and Ireland will join the ranks of full test-playing nations after receiving the backing of the International Cricket Council’s conference.  The body said it had voted to admit the two nations into the elite group that is permitted to play traditional five-day test matches.

  As new full members of the ICC, Ireland and Afghanistan will take the total of countries playing tests to 12.  “For a nation like Afghanistan it is a huge and remarkable achievement, the entire nation will be celebrating across all five regions and different provinces. It is the perfect Eid gift,” said Afghanistan Cricket Board Chief Executive Shafiq Stanikzai, referring to the approaching Muslim holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
