The Shpageeza Cricket League 2024 is back with its ninth edition, starting from Monday, August 12 to Sunday, August 25, 2024. Kabul International Cricket Stadium in Kabul will be the match venue for all 21 games.
The tournament was scheduled for September 2024 initially. However, no tournament took place in 2023, with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announcing the tournament would be played in August 2024.
The tournament has reduced from eight teams to five this year. The teams include Amo Sharks, Band-e-Amir Dragons, Boost Defenders, Mis Ainak Knights (two titles), and Speenghar Tigers (three titles). Speenghar were the defending champions of the 2022 edition.
Najibullah Zadran of the Speenghar was named Player of the Series. Hashmatullah Shahidi from Boost Defenders scored the most runs (411). The top wicket-takers were Kabul Eagles’ Qais Ahmad and Zia-ur-Rehman of Boost Defenders, claiming 14 wickets each.
In the 2024 Shpageeza Cricket League, Azmatullah Omarzai will captain Amo Sharks, Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead Band-e-Amir Dragons, and Rahmat Shah will be at the helm of the Boost Defenders. Similarly, Ibrahim Zadran is set to captain the Mis Ainak Knights, while Rashid Khan will be in charge of the Speenghar Tigers.
Band-e-Amir Dragons and Speen Ghar Tigers will lock horns in the season-opener of the Shpageeza Cricket League 2024 on Monday, August 12.
