Ahmad Shah Abdali 4-day Tournament is a four-day cricket tournament in Afghanistan played between regional teams drawn from six 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.
Afghanistan's multi-day tournament initially began as a three-day competition before moving to a four-day structure in 2014, now known as the Ahmad Shah Abdali tournament, with five regional teams competing - Amo, Band-e-Amir, Boost, Mis Ainak and Speen Ghar. A sixth team, Kabul Green, joined the competition in 2016. 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. In February 2017 the International Cricket Council (ICC) awarded first-class status to Afghanistan's four-day domestic competition.
