Higher Common Ground is a cricket ground in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
 The first recorded match on the ground was in 1844, when the Married cricket team played the Single's cricket team in the grounds first first-class match.
 The following season, Kent played Sussex at the ground, marking their first first-class match there.
 From 1845 to 1884, Kent played 28 first-class matches at the ground, with their final match there coming against Somerset, which was also the final first-class match at the ground.
 A number of others teams also played first-class cricket at the ground, these included: A combined Kent and Sussex team in 1853 against an All-England Eleven; the South 5 times between 1854 and 1883; and a United Eleven against the touring Australians in 1882.
 From 1844 to 1884, the ground held a combined total of 36 first-class matches.
A Home Counties cricket team was a cricket team formed of players who represented counties which were considered a part of England's home counties.
 The team first appeared in 1862 in a minor match against Southgate Cricket Club.
 The team later appeared once in first-class cricket in 1899 against The Rest at the Central Recreation Ground, Hastings.
 The team for their only first-class match consisted of Arthur Turner and Sailor Young of Essex; Alec Hearne and Bill Bradley of Kent; Francis Ford and Andrew Stoddart of Middlesex; Bobby Abel, Tom Hayward and Digby Jephson of Surrey and; Harry Butt and K. S. Ranjitsinhji of Sussex.
 With the exception of Jephson and Turner, all had played Test cricket for England.
 Their only appearance in first-class cricket ended as a draw.
 The team reappeared in the 1940s, playing two minor matches against Lancashire in 1946 and 1948.
Middlesex County Cricket Club was established on 2 February 1864; prior to that an informal county team had existed before, and had appeared in first-class cricket from 1787.
 It has since played first-class cricket from 1864, List A cricket from 1963 and Twenty20 cricket from 2003, using a number of home grounds during that time.
 The Cattle Market Ground in Islington played host to the clubs first home fixture in first-class cricket against Sussex in 1864; Lord's in St John's Wood played host to the clubs first home fixture in List A cricket against Northamptonshire in 1963; while the Old Deer Park in Richmond played host to the clubs first home fixture in Twenty20 cricket against Kent in 2003.
 Middlesex have played home matches at fourteen grounds, but have played the majority of their home fixtures at Lord's, which also holds Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket matches.
The Demobilised Officers cricket team was a cricket team formed of first-class cricketers who had fought in the First World War and following its conclusion had been demobilised.
 The team played a single first-class match against a combined Army and Navy cricket team at Lord's in 1919.
 The eleven players who represented the team in the match were Richard Twining (later President of the Marylebone Cricket Club and Middlesex), Mordaunt Doll, Harry Altham, John Morrison, Gilbert Ashton, Claude Burton, Frank Mann, Stanley Saville, Eric Martin, Sidney Bollon and Wilfrid Lord.
 All except Bollon had previously played first-class cricket, with Mann the only member of the team to later play international cricket, making five Test appearances for England.
 The Army and Navy batted first, making 231 all out, with Bollon taking five wickets with figures of 5/59, while Ashton backed him up with 4/95.
 Responding in their first-innings, the Demobilised Officers made 212 all out, with Ashton top scoring in the innings with 95.
 The Army and Navy reached 124/2 in their second-innings, at which point the match was declared a draw.
 The team played no further matches after this.
Band-e Amir National Park (Persian: بند امیر‎ ‎ ) is Afghanistan's first national park, located in the Bamyan Province.
 It is a series of six deep blue lakes separated by natural dams made of travertine, a mineral deposit.
 The lakes are situated in the Hindu Kush mountains of central Afghanistan at approximately 3000 m of elevation, west of the famous Buddhas of Bamiyan.
Cricket in World War I was severely curtailed in all nations where first-class cricket was then played except India.
 In England, South Africa and the West Indies, first-class cricket was entirely abandoned for the whole of the war, whilst in Australia and New Zealand regular competitions were played for the 1914–15 season but first-class matches were afterwards abandoned.
 In South Africa, first-class cricket did not recommence until a series of matches against the Australian Imperial Forces cricket team in late 1919, and provincial cricket was not played until a one-off match between Transvaal and Natal in April 1920.
The History of the Sri Lanka national cricket team began with the formation of the Colombo Cricket Club in 1832.
 By the 1880s a national team, the Ceylon national cricket team, was formed which began playing first-class cricket by the 1920s.
 The Ceylon national cricket team had achieved associate member status of the International Cricket Council in 1965.
 Renamed Sri Lanka in 1972, the national team first competed in top level international cricket in 1975, when they played against West Indies during 1975 Cricket World Cup; West Indies won the match by 9 wickets at the Old Trafford, Manchester, England.
Band-e-Amir Dragons (Pashto: بند امير ښاماران‎ "Band-e-Amīr Khāmārān / Shāmārān"; Dari: بند امیر شاماران‎ ‎ ) or Band-e-Amir Region is one of six first-class cricket teams in Afghanistan.
 In the 2017 Shpageeza team auction, the Band-e-Amir Dragons team was bought by Paragon Group, a logistics and supply services company, and it will play as the Paragon Band-e-Amir Dragons in this competition.
 The Region represents the following provinces in the centre of Afghanistan: Maidan Wardak, Bamyan, Daykundi, Panjshir, Kapisa and Parwan.
 The team is named after the Band-e Amir, a series of six deep blue lakes in Bamyan Province.
This is a list of Afghanistan first-class cricketers, correct as of 21 January 2013.
 First-class cricket matches are those between international teams or the highest standard of domestic teams in which teams have two innings each.
 Generally, matches are eleven players a side but there have been exceptions.
 Today all matches must be scheduled to have at least three days' duration; historically, matches were played to a finish with no pre-defined timespan.
 The list includes any player to have played for the Afghanistan national cricket team who has also played first-class cricket, whether for Afghanistan or another team.
 The list is in alphabetical order by first name, as is custom in cricket for players from Muslim countries.
William Philpott (24 January 1819 – 4 November 1891) was an Australian cricketer.
 He played two first-class cricket matches for Victoria.
 Philpott holds the distinction for having been the captain of the Victorian cricket team for the first ever first-class cricket match played in Australia, from 11 February 1851 to 12 February 1851.
 This match was also the first intercolonial match played in Australia.
 The match was played against Tasmania, which eventually won the timeless match after two-days of play.
 Thus, Philpott became the first ever losing captain in first-class cricket in Australia.
