"Cricket is the fastest growing sport in our country, we have thousands and thousands following us on the radio or the tv and that's not just in Afghanistan.
"Previously, we had been labelled as mere participants, now we were contenders, rising from the ashes and onto the podium."

Nabi was born at a refugee camp in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar.

Nabi learned his cricket on the streets, in a similar manner to every child that plays the sport in Pakistan.
Cricket equipment on the streets is often bare and shoddy - a bat, a makeshift wicket
and a tennis ball wrapped up in tape. ( owara seed taped )
Sounds like berbice , Guyana in the 60s :-[
