ICC provides update on displaced Afghan women cricketers’ initiative

The ICC announced several major decisions after its annual conference, including an update on the Afghanistan women’s cricket initiative, the hosts for the finals of the next three ICC World Test Championships, the status of USA Cricket and the addition of two new Members.

In line with ICC’s initiative for supporting the displaced women cricketers of Afghan descent, the players will receive key engagement opportunities at ICC events, including the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 and the T20 World Cup next year in England, as well as through high-performance initiatives and domestic playing opportunities.

The initiative is being advanced through a collaborative effort led by the ICC under the supervision of Deputy Chair Mr Imran Khwaja, in collaboration with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and Cricket Australia (CA).
