Afghanistan's men's team will be seen playing in the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time this year. But, the condition of the women's cricket team there is not so good. After the Taliban rule was established in the country in 2021, it went from bad to worse, as a result, the women of Afghanistan had to wait for 3 long years for the next match after playing in November 2021. However, when they played the first match after a long wait, it was not only a matter of happiness for them, but it was also good news from the point of view of world cricket. It is a different matter that they had to face defeat by 7 wickets in the match.

Now you must be thinking that the Taliban has banned all things like sports, studies for women in the country. Then how did the women's cricket team of Afghanistan prepare itself for the match? So there is a story behind this too.
When the Taliban regime spread its tentacles again in Afghanistan in 2021, the houses of women players were raided. Many players even burnt their cricket jerseys and kits to hide their identity. Fed up with the terror of the Taliban, many women cricketers of Afghanistan then took refuge in Australia.
Australia helped the women cricketers of Afghanistan. Gave direction to their dreams, due to which they finally managed to play their first match after 3 years.
