An Afghanistan Women's XI will play a Cricket Without Borders XI in a match at Melbourne's Junction Oval.

It will bring together 21 ex-Afghani international players who were banned from playing the sport after the Taliban regime re-took control in August 2021.

Since fleeing Afghanistan, the players moved to Australia, plying their trade in local club competitions.
