Cricket: Afghanistan’s exiled women’s team will play in India during the World Cup

# Cricket: Afghanistan’s exiled women’s players will tour India during the one-day World Cup, where they will play against domestic teams. Most of the cricketers fled to Australia when the Taliban regime returned in 2021 and banned women and girls from participating in sports, education and employment. The team will also be invited to watch some of the World Cup matches. Afghanistan’s women played in a historic exhibition match against a Cricket Without Borders-eleven in Melbourne in January.
