Afghan women are reunited in the first game after escaping with the Taliban | Current news

The Afghan women’s screams played their first game after they came across their country after taking over Taliban three years ago, gathering at a charity match in Australia, for which Captain Nahida Sapan hoped to encourage a “movement for change”.

Hundreds of women athletes escaped from Afghanistan as the Taliban took over in August 2021, to escape from a hard attitude that basically banned women’s sports and education.

Most national female critics settled in Australia, where they first reunited on Thursday to play a charity game in Melbourne.

“We build not only a team together, we build a movement for change and promise,” Sapan said on the movement of the game.

“We have great hopes in this match because this match can open the door for Afghan women in education and sports in the future.”

The Cricket Committee in Afghanistan achieved significant progress in November 2020.

But before the new detachment had the opportunity to play together, the Taliban captured the capital Kabul and declared the end of the women’s crisis.

“The situation in Afghanistan is terrible. Women do not have their rights.

“I can live freely in Australia and live my life the way I want.

“But at home in Afghanistan … I can only say that it is very hearty and it is difficult to live in that situation.”

Diana Barakzai, who helped to find the first female program of a crislette in Afghanistan almost 20 years ago, said the match was “amazing moment”.

“I’m sure it’s a big message for the world, that the world will do something for Afghan women,” AFP told the news agency.

“Especially to open a door to school, opening a job for women.”

Of the 25 women once contracted by the Cricket Committee in Afghanistan, 22 are now settled in the Australian cities of Melbourne and Canberra.

Some of these players were lobbied by the Managing International Caucasian Council (ICC) hoping to form a refugee team with a kind of official status.

“It remains a deep sadness that we as women cannot represent our country like men’s crisis,” some players wrote in a joint letter last year.

“Creating this team will allow all Afghan women who want to represent their country to gather under one banner.”

ICC has ignored these calls so far.

The game on Thursday was played at Melbourne’s Junction Oval, a historic field where young Shane Warne once went to her store.

The Afghan side played an invitation that represents a cricket without borders, a charity organization aimed at drawing young women in play.

Australia’s governing body threw its weight behind the game, promising to “advocate” for the Afghan female side at the highest levels.

“I’m so proud of all throughout the Australian crisis who have worked on players’ support since they were in Australia,” said Nick Hockley CEO earlier this week.

Citing human rights concerns, Australia has in recent years boycotted a series of non-tour nodes against the male side of Afghanistan.
