- Afghanistan Women’s XI to play Cricket Without Borders team
Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley says he would support Australia’s men’s players if any wished to express their own views on Afghanistan and whether they should continue to play the Taliban-controlled nation in World Cups and other ICC tournaments.
An Afghanistan women’s XI will take on a team representing Cricket Without Borders, an initiative developing women’s opportunities in cricket, in an exhibition at Junction Oval in Melbourne on Thursday to raise awareness of the plight of women facing persecution under the Taliban.
