The ICC on Sunday announced the formation of a dedicated task force to support displaced Afghan women cricketers, many of whom are now living in exile in Australia, and for this the game’s apex body has collaborated with BCCI and cricket boards of England and Australia.

In a landmark initiative, the ICC has joined hands with the sport’s three most influential boards—BCCI, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and Cricket Australia (CA) to “assist these talented athletes in both their cricketing and personal development journeys”.
