List of Afghanistan Test cricket records

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 19 min


Test cricket is the oldest form of cricket played at international level.[1] A Test match is scheduled to take place over a period of five days,[a][b] and is played by teams representing full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC).[5][6]

Afghanistan played their first test match in 2018, becoming the 12th test nation. Since then, they have played 9 test matches, compiling a record of 3 wins and 6 defeats. [7]
