Ahmad Shah Abdali 4-day Tournament is a four-day cricket tournament in Afghanistan played between regional teams, each representing a number of Afghan provinces.
Up to and including the 2016–17 Tournament, the matches were not given first-class status. However, at an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in February 2017, first-class status was awarded to all future matches, starting with the 2017–18 tournament.[1][2][3] It is named after founder of the Durrani Empire, Ahmad Shah Durrani.

History
Afghanistan's multi-day tournament, the Ahmad Shah Abdali tournament, initially began as a three-day competition hosted in Peshawar, Pakistan in 2011[4] before being held in Afghanistan for all subsequent seasons. It transitioned to a four-day structure in 2014, with five regional teams competing - Amo, Band-e-Amir, Boost, Mis Ainak and Speen Ghar. A sixth team, Kabul, joined the competition in 2016. The Afghanistan Under-19 cricket team participated in the inaugural 2011 season only.[4] The teams play each other twice before the two sides at the top of the table play for the end of season championship. The competition runs from September through December.[5][6] In February 2017 the International Cricket Council (ICC) awarded first-class status to Afghanistan's four-day domestic competition.[7]
