Sometimes a young player shows enough glimpses of ability to ignite dreams of what might be possible. Sediqullah Atal is one such name. He has the style, the shots, and the mentality that make you think he is a breakout season away from becoming Afghanistan’s next T20 superstar. Talent does not equal stardom. Stars take […]
