The Afghanistan women's cricket team, who have been missing the international scene for a long period, may return to the game once more. Media reports suggest that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has initiated a task force committed to the cause of Afghan women cricketers who had migrated after the Taliban regained power. This will ensure the team receives direct funding, high-class coaching, and improved infrastructure from the ICC directly. In a joint effort, the ICC has signed agreements with Australia, India, and England cricket associations to offer assistance to the Afghan women cricketers displaced. ICC chairman Jay Shah stated that the effort was to commit to making the sport inclusive. Since their relocation from Afghanistan, a number of Afghan female cricketers have ended up in Australia and today they are playing local club cricket in cities such as Melbourne. They played an exhibition match at the Junction Oval in Melbourne in January against a Cricket Without Borders XI, assisted by the Australian government.

This has been followed by criticism as well as a decline in England and Australia from playing direct series against Afghanistan. The achievement of the Afghanistan national team to the semifinals of the Twenty20 World Cup rekindled the women's team's call for ICC assistance. Their original call in 2023 was for aid to create a refugee team in Australia that could play international cricket. The ICC's recent move represents a critical development in empowering Afghan women cricketers and reaffirming the power of sports in building unity in the face of adversity.
