Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, the entire women\u2019s team along with their families, were rescued from the country and settled in various Australian cities like Melbourne and Canberra. Since settling in Australia, Nahida has been playing club cricket for Carnegie in Melbourne.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s really special for us, especially for Afghan women because this is a very historic moment for Afghan women. We can show, when we play on this ground, we play for Afghanistan. This is a win for Afghan women, as together, we are building not just a team, but a moment for change and progress. It\u2019s very special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have a big hopes for this match, because this match can open doors for Afghan women, for education, sport and future. We don't want this to be our first and last match. We want more matches. We want more support,\" said Nahida to reporters on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
