ROGER KNIGHT SAYS (soundbite) (english) "Cricket's been played in Afghanistan for some years, they are an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council, and I suppose it's not a surprise, with the border being so close to Pakistan, that people would have played a lot of cricket both in Pakistan and Afghanistan. And in fact I was in Peshawar about eighteen months ago and was asked about MCC possibly playing a game with Afghan cricketers. Obviously it wasn't practical at that stage, but the best we can do at the moment is provide as much support through kit and equipment." 7. PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN (OCTOBER 15, 20001) (REUTERS) 8.
