After cementing a place in the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup competition in the West Indies, the Afghanistan national cricket team has gained the backing of multi-national company, the Supreme Group.
The Supreme Group has committed to be the team’s first major sponsor through the T20 World Cup series and is looking to extend the relationship for a further 12 months.
Managing Director, Stephen Orenstein, said that the commitment to support the Afghanistan national cricket team represents the company’s broader long-term investment in the people of Afghanistan.
“We do a lot of work in Afghanistan and employ many Afghan nationals. This is a great way to show our support to the Afghan people,” said Stephen Orenstein.
Afghanistan’s qualification into the World T20 stunned the cricketing world and the sport has become the most talked about game in the country.
The Supreme Group wants to ensure that the enthusiasm continues. “Sport is one of the most effective way to bring a nation together,” said Stephen Orenstein.
Operating in Afghanistan since 2002, the Supreme Group provides complex supply chain logistic solutions for the delivery of food, fuel and support services in support of the Internal Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
Dr Aimal Shinwari, the Chief Executive of the Afghanistan’s National Cricket Board, said that over the last two years the country’s national cricket team has achieved so much.
He further stated that sponsorship arrangement with Supreme Group will assist the team’s continued success.
Dr Aimal Shinwari, CEO, ACB, “Afghanistan are the rising stars of international cricket. We need solid support from sponsors and Supreme Group’s commitment to the team will ensure the team’s star keeps on rising.”
In Dubai this week for a signing reception with sponsor Supreme Group, Dr Shinwari said Sunday will be an important day in the history of Afghanistan sport.
Afghanistan has been placed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in the tough Group ‘C’ where the Young Entrants would be fighting might of India and South Africa, with its first match against India scheduled for 1 May, 2010.
