Afghan cricketers running after children to make sure they take their polio vaccines

KABHUL (Web Desk) – While most international cricketers enjoy a huge fan following all around the world and are sporadically chased by ardent supporters, Afghan cricketers live life the other way round.

A photograph buzzing on social media shows two Afghan cricketers in hot pursuit of a kid who refused to take polio drops. It is unclear whether the sportsmen succeeded in seizing the kid or not but the photographer managed to capture the adventure of the duo.

Afghanistan and Pakistan are among the few countries in the world where the polio virus is still prevalent. A major reason for its existence is a trend of polio drop refusals, especially in the countries frontier regions.
