Afghan Women Cricketers Call on ICC to Help Establish Refugee Team in Australia

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN – Former members of the Afghanistan women’s cricket team, now living in exile, have urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to help them establish a refugee team in Australia, aiming to give hope to Afghan women.

As reported by The Cricketer, in a letter to the ICC, Afghan female cricketers who relocated to Australia after the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan have requested the opportunity to represent Afghan women who dream of playing but are unable to due to Taliban restrictions.
