If Afghanistan have not been able to win a single match so far, it's not only due to lack of experience; blame it on controversies too

Southampton: Afghanistan cricket's remarkable rise was one of the most spectacular stories to emerge in the world of sport in recent times. While their emergence has been stupendous, it is equally heartbreaking to see them struggling.
Yet to open their win account in this World Cup in five games, Afghanistan are starring at being winless with four tough matches to go, starting with India today. It is not just about the lack of wins that is upsetting, the controversies surrounding the team is detrimental too.
