Afghanistan women’s refugee team will tour United Kingdom in June and be guests at July’s World Cup final at Lord’s.
Afghanistan’s displaced female cricketers will tour England next month, a landmark moment on a five-year journey to rebuild their careers and remain part of the game following their exclusion from sports after the Taliban’s return to power. The Afghanistan Refugee team will contain players who had been contracted to the Afghanistan Cricket Board and left the country after being “systematically excluded from sport and public life” by the Taliban, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Thursday in announcing the tour. The ECB said the tour “carries significant cultural and sporting importance.”
