May 24 (CRICKETNMORE) - Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib says that cricket has become more than just a sport in his country as they prepare to make their second appearance at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board was only formed in 1995 and while, like most sports, cricket was initially banned under Taliban rule – it became an exception by being permitted from early 2000.
