Forced out by Taliban, Afghanistan refugee women’s cricket team to tour England next month
The Afghanistan refugee women's cricket team will tour England next month as they seek to rebuild their cricket careers after being displaced by the Taliban. The tour, starting on June 22, will include Twenty20 matches and training sessions, culminating in attendance at the Women's T20 World Cup final. This initiative is seen as a significant step towards inclusion and support for women's participation in sports.
