National Radio Television of Afghanistan (RTA) meanwhile secured the rights to broadcast this year’s tournament.
The agreement was signed in Kabul on Saturday between Himatullah Niazmand from RTA and the Afghan Cricket Board (ACB) CEO Lutfullah Stanikzai.
After signing the agreement for Afghanistan’s domestic Twenty20 tournament, Stanikzai remarked: “High-quality broadcasting of the league is our priority and I am pleased that ACB and RTA could collaborate again for the same purpose after a successful sixth edition last year.”
Niazmand said: “It is a pleasing news that we get to collaborate with ACB again. RTA always strives for quality when it comes to broadcasting matches to our cricket fans.”
Following a request to the Ministry of Public Health, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was given the go-ahead this month to take place.
The Shpageeza tournament has six franchises and could include players from the national team, from overseas, players from the ‘A’ team and players from the under 19 team as well as elite performers from the respective regions participating in the tournament.
