The International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched a support program for Afghan women cricketers who were forced to leave their country. Since the Taliban banned women’s sports in 2021, many female players have moved to places like Australia to continue their lives and careers.
Now, the ICC wants to help these players. It is working with cricket boards from Australia, India, and England to give support. This includes money, coaching, and proper training facilities.
Many Afghan women lost their chance to play after the Taliban took over. Some managed to escape and still dream of playing cricket. The ICC’s new program gives them hope and a chance to keep their cricket dreams alive.
This step shows that the cricket world cares about all players—no matter where they come from. With help from top cricket nations, these women can now train, play, and grow as athletes again.
