Spin Ghar Beat Bost 7–4 as Nangarhar Opens Five-Zone Baseball Competition

Spin Ghar opened Afghanistan’s five-zone baseball competition with a 7–4 victory over Bost in Nangarhar, where the national baseball federation is using interregional matches to assess prospective national-team players.

The General Directorate of Physical Education and Sports (GDPES) reported the result on Wednesday, 14 October. The federation organised the tournament in Nangarhar with teams representing five zones of Afghanistan.

For a sport with a smaller competitive footprint in Afghanistan than cricket or football, the tournament offers players a chance to be assessed beyond their own provinces. GDPES identified the search for capable national-team players and the development of baseball across the country as the event’s principal aims.

The official account confirmed Spin Ghar’s 7–4 opening win but did not name individual scorers, provide innings-by-innings figures or announce a final squad. Those details cannot yet be independently reported.

The opening result gives Spin Ghar an early win; the larger question is which players emerge from the five-zone competition for future national-team consideration.
