AUSTRALIA, JUL 20 – The ICC is providing training, workshops, and competition chances for Afghan women cricketers in exile, with most resettled in Australia, ahead of the 2025 and 2026 global World Cups.
- At its annual meeting in Singapore, the International Cricket Council announced a new initiative to support Afghanistan’s women cricketers, setting the stage for global engagement.
- Following the 2021 Taliban takeover, many Afghan women cricketers were forced into exile and most resettled in Australia.

- Many hail the move as a beacon of hope for Afghanistan women in exile and a significant stand by global sports organizations against systemic gender-based oppression, offering visibility, dignity and hope when home participation is not possible.
- They are expected to participate in the women's 50-over World Cup in India and Sri Lanka later this year and the 2026 T20 World Cup in England, and are expected to attend technical training sessions, international coaching programs and domestic tournaments.
