MA Chidambaram Stadium: Afghanistan's captain Rashid Khan has stood out in support of the Afghan Women cricketers who are currently living in exile after fleeing their country due to the Taliban regime.
Rashid acknowledged the importance of women's cricket as part of full ICC membership ahead of Afghanistan's first match against New Zealand at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
“Women's team? Definitely. I feel that’s part of the criteria for being a full member. The ICC and the Afghanistan Cricket Board know best, but we love to see anyone representing Afghanistan on any stage. It’s a proud moment, and you’re representing your country," he said in the pre-match conference.
