War-ravaged Afghanistan is seeking a home ground for its fledgling national cricket team in neighbouring India, powerhouse of the sport, a top official said Wednesday.

President Ashraf Ghani has been asked to push for assistance for his side during an official visit to India next week, his first since winning elections last year, said Afghanistan Cricket Board president Nasimullah Danish.

"Unfortunately, we have not got as much assistance from India as we should have," Danish told AFP by phone from Kabul.

"I don't know why, but maybe the Indian board has got other things on its mind," he said.
