A brave step for displaced Afghan female jackers
In a separate but important development, the ICC launched a special attempt to support displaced Afghan female crickets.
This movement is increasing concern for Afghan female athletes who have lost access to education, financing and international platforms due to political and social restrictions in their countries.
In order to create a long -term support structure, the ICC partnership with the Cricket Control Board (BCCI), England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Australia (CA). The initiative contains a special fund to provide direct financial assistance. The program will offer high -performance training, access to distinguished coaching, world -class facilities and personal mentoring. In short, this is a complete effort to help athletes to recreate their careers.
“Every cricket must have a chance to shine”
Commenting on the initiative, ICC President Jay Shah said the organization took a solid attitude towards inclusiveness.
In the International Cricket Council, we are deeply determined to encourage inclusiveness and ensure that every cricket has the opportunity to have the opportunity to glare, regardless of the conditions of the cricket. β
βIn cooperation with our valuable partners, we are proud to start this task strength and support fund, which is completed with a comprehensive High Performance Program to ensure that the displaced Afghan female crickets can continue their journeys in sports. This initiative reflects Crick’s global growth and union.β
ICC sees this effort not only as a support for support, but also as a statement that the game is larger than boundaries and obstacles.
Behind this initiative, there is a wider belief in the jack as a tool for a global connection.
The Afghan female jack faced an uncertain future. Many players now live in exile or under restrictions. In this context, the ICC’s initiative is designed to keep the dreams alive and to ensure that the sport continues to provide a platform for flexibility.
The ICC said that the program will send a message to the global cricket community: No player should be left behind because of politics or displacement.
In addition to these decisions, the ICC Board has approved the consolidated financial statements for the financial year that ended in 2024.
The Board confirmed three appointments to the ICC Women’s Cricket Committee: Catherine Campbell, re -appointed and new members Avril Fayy and Pholetsi Moseki.
With these appointments and support initiatives, ICC moves to strengthen its governance while re -confirming its role as an inclusive global sport.
