Team owner makes illegal debut in Afghanistan’s SCL
In Afghanistan’s Shpageeza Cricket League (SCL), the cricket world witnessed something like never before. Abdul Kabul is the owner of the SCL team Kabul Eagles.
Whenever we see a former legendary cricketer coaching a team, we sometimes wish to see that man coming on the pitch and play again. Even though it is not possible, who knew that a team owner of a franchise will do the unthinkable?
Kabul Eagles’ owner named Abdul Kabul did something bizarre on the cricket field. When his side were up against the Knights in the first semi-final of the Shpageeza Cricket League, the team owner himself made an illegal debut and bowled one over in the game.
