The Afghan Cheetahs was a Twenty20 team established in 2011 from Afghanistan that played in Pakistan's domestic Faysal Bank Twenty-20 Cup in September/October 2011.

Despite the Afghanistan national cricket team being a member of the International Cricket Council in its own right, its recent success has seen it invited to take part in this competition in its full member neighbour.

In Europe, the national teams of Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Scotland have all at some point taken part in English domestic cricket.

Similarly, the national teams of Canada and the United States have also been invited to take part in West Indian domestic cricket.

Comprising a mixture of national players and youth, the Afghan Cheetahs played three matches in the competition, losing all three.
