ICC chairman Jay Shah added: “We are deeply committed to fostering inclusivity and ensuring every cricketer has the opportunity to shine, regardless of their circumstances.

“In collaboration with our valued partners, we are proud to launch this taskforce and support fund, complemented by a comprehensive high-performance programme, to ensure displaced Afghan women cricketers can continue their journey in the sport.

“This initiative reflects our steadfast dedication to cricket’s global growth and its power to inspire unity, resilience and hope.”

The ICC requires its full members, of which Afghanistan is one, to have a national women’s team, but the men’s team has retained its Test status, reached the semi-finals of last year’s T20 World Cup and participated in the Champions Trophy earlier this year.

England’s game against Afghanistan at the tournament went ahead as scheduled, despite a group of MPs across various political parties asking England to boycott the match.
