Afghanistan players were raised and trained in Pakistan and PCB is not a big board like big 3. Why BCCI is not helping Nepal so that level of cricket there is raised and they start playing international cricket. Nepal is very much dependent on India. Anyways dont expect anything good from ICC for associate countries.
I am not agreed with you about this as Afghan players are trained and raised in Pakistan if you have any link then please send me because mostly they play in Sharjah UAE or India where they have a ground for playing test matches as home ground, and they were mostly stayed in these two countries before Taliban era in Afghanistan like the UAE and India just because of this please not spread fake news without any proof.
They play their first test match against India as well, and they have good base in India instead of Pakistan which is well known by all cricketing community I agree about these associates never expect any positive thing from ICC as they are benched of crap peoples which are not interested in development of this game like we have FIFA and few other games which are spreading drastically around the world with strong system and better ideas.
