    Why?

    The wickets didn't appear to be runways in recent T20 matches between Ban and Aus and now NZ.

    Since it's in Bangladesh rather than Afghanistan, I think your
    assessment is slightly wide of the mark.

    Not wrong the Afghani pitches are a minefield at the moment

    You got me there, Mike.
    I hope situation in Afghanistan improves soon and the region finds a way to peace and tolerance. World cricket is better with Rashid Khan and co. in it.

    not just the grounds, its dangerous for the players to be in afghan. the taliban
    are searching for women cricketers who have gone into hiding.

    It appears a cricket match was held recently in Kabul after the Taliban takeover. The reporting is in Bangla but the match footage is available after about 26 secs.
