ICC to Discuss Funding for Afghanistan Women’s Refugee Cricket Team

The Afghanistan women’s refugee cricket team was formed after the Taliban banned women’s sport in the country, seeking a platform on the international stage. The side reached the quarter‑finals of the 2025 ICC Women’s T20 Qualifier, but has struggled with limited funding.

Following the decision, donor drives and government grants are expected to be mobilised.
