Cricketer Firooza Amiri says her team will "represent millions of women in Afghanistan who are denied their rights” when the side reunites after more than three years for an exhibition game in Austral

A Twenty20 cricket contest featuring a women’s team made up of refugees from Afghanistan who now live in Australia may “only” be an exhibition game, but it could be the beginning of something much more.

Afghanistan women's cricket team will take the field in an exhibition match in Australia, but their cricketing plight remains in a stalemate.

Afghanistan female cricketers said Thursday's exhibition match in Australia will be a "historic moment" and that the team will "represent millions of women" back home denied their rights. The Afghan team reunites after more than three years for an exhibition game against a Cricket Without Borders XI at Melbourne’s Junction Oval.
