The selection process for the Afghan National Bowling Team started in Kabul on Monday with the support of the National Olympic Committee.

Twelve women and 12 men, from central, northern and western zones of the country, will compete for three days in a bid to secure spots in the team.

The Bowling Federation was established in 2018 under the National Olympic Committee and, in the same year, two national teams represented Afghanistan for the first time at the World Championships.

The two were ranked 33rd in the competition, which was attended by 52 countries. The national bowling team then competed in the Kuwait Asian Games with two female and three male bowlers taking part.

Since the establishment of the Bowling Federation, several tournaments have been held across the country.

Bowling Federation officials say young people are increasingly interested in the sport, and they have plans to promote the sport in the country.

Currently, more than 100 athletes bowl professionally in three areas of the country, and competitions are held each year to select players for the national team.

Afghanistan are set to face India in the Asian Games cricket quarter-finals after Saturday’s rain-hit match between Nepal and Japan confirmed the Pool A standings.

The quarter-final between India and Afghanistan is scheduled to take place on September 28 in Nisshin, Japan.

Nepal secured first place in the group after Japan’s chase was washed out. Nepal had scored 149 runs for four wickets in 15 overs after being sent in to bat, but persistent rain prevented Japan from starting its innings.

The result saw Nepal advance as Pool A winners, with Afghanistan joining them in the quarter-finals as the other qualifying team. Nepal will face Sri Lanka in the quarter-finals.

Japan have been eliminated from the tournament.
