In yesterday match Afghanistan beats the Bangladesh by 136 runs . This was not expected as Bangladesh is a test playing nation and a good side and has beaten all the top counties as well. But this also means that Afghanistan cannot be taken as light team and they have a serious potential to beat the best of the teams too.
Afghanistan is also a test playing nation now!!
The difference between the two teams is that Afghanistan made tremendous progress over the past few years, while Bangladeshi cricket has remained stagnant. I would like to see the Afghan team getting more diverse, fielding more Tajik and other non-Pashtun players. Other than that, they have a very good side.
Its really bad-luck for them until now they have no local setup and they cannot do some good work otherwise as you are saying if they succeeded in bringing some non-Pashtun players this could be very good for them as they can bring some more talent and exciting players but this is going to take some long time.
