Former Pakistan cricketer and coach of Afghanistan team - Rashid Latif - says he wants the team to rise gradually and that their real test would be after the World Cup next year.
Karachi: The story of Afghanistan's rise in cricket has been nothing short of a fairytale, but the real work will begin only after their debut in next year's World Cup, according to Rashid Latif, the ex-Pakistan skipper who is a coach with the Afghan team.
Latif has been charged with helping the Afghans prepare for the tournament at a training camp in Karachi, a role he is reprising after previously leading the team to a silver in the 2010 Asian Games.
Afghanistan's rapid ascent from the fifth division of world cricket in 2008 to qualifying for next year's showpiece event in Australia and New Zealand has been hailed as one of the sport's biggest success stories.
The tale is made poignant by the country's war-torn history, with many Afghans first exposed to cricket in Pakistani refugee camps during the Soviet occupation in the 1980s.
Sport was largely stifled under the isolated Taliban regime that ruled from 1996 to 2001 and cricket took off after they were overthrown.
But Latif warns the team needs to stay focused on their long-term development in order to avoid the fate of other up-and-comers before them.
"I don't want them to go down after ascending, like Kenya," he said of the nation which reached the semi-final of the 2003 World Cup but later fell away, losing its right to play one-day internationals.
"I hope the World Cup is not a make-or-break for Afghanistan," the former wicketkeeper said. "Their real cricket will start after the World Cup."
He added the Afghans could prove to be formidable opponents against top teams "in the next five years".

Latif said beating Bangladesh when they meet in their opening World Cup group match was a real prospect.
Afghanistan have featured in three World Twenty20 events since 2010, but qualifying for the more prestigious 50-over World Cup is their biggest sporting achievement to date.
