Afghanistan Women's Cricket Team Seeks ICC Help to Form Refugee Team in Australia

The Afghanistan women's cricket team has requested the International Cricket Council (ICC) to assist in setting up a refugee team in Australia. The team, comprising 17 players contracted by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) in 2020, is unable to represent Afghanistan due to the Taliban's refusal to recognize a women's team. They have asked to be administered by the East Asian Cricket office in Australia, allowing them to represent Afghan women who dream of playing cricket. The team aims to develop and showcase their talent, give hope to women in Afghanistan, and draw attention to the challenges they face. The ICC is yet to comment on the matter.
