Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) spokesman Farid Hotak told Pajhwok Afghan News that the neighbours had reached an agreement on strengthening cricket links some time back.
Under the agreement, the ACB would provide technical support to the Tajikistan Cricket Federation, Hotak said, adding the matches between the sides were part of that deal.
