Afghanistan Women's Cricket Team Tours England Amidst Recognition Battle

Afghanistan's women's cricket team, which fled the Taliban in 2021, is touring England for a series of matches and an advocacy campaign. The team seeks recognition from the International Cricket Council (ICC), which currently cannot sanction them due to the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan Cricket Board's refusal to acknowledge the women's team. The tour aims to highlight their plight and secure future funding and formal recognition.

England Women's Cricket Squad to Train with British Army Ahead of T20 World Cup

England's 15-player Women's T20 World Cup squad will skip this weekend's domestic matches for a training camp with the British Army. The programme, at an undisclosed UK location, focuses on decision-making, resilience and performing under pressure. The camp precedes the team's first international of the summer - three ODIs against New Zealand starting 10 May - before T20s against New Zealand and India. The World Cup begins against Sri Lanka on 12 June.

England women's cricket squad for T20 World Cup draws criticism for conservatism

England women's cricket head coach Charlotte Edwards has named a T20 World Cup squad nearly identical to the one that lost the Ashes 16-0 fifteen months ago, drawing criticism for conservatism. The squad features established players like Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who have played in every World Cup since 2017 without winning a trophy. The only uncapped player is 18-year-old left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman, while 19-year-old dynamo Davina Perrin was overlooked despite a match-winning Hundred semi-final century.

Knight hopes T20 World Cup can transform women's cricket in UK

Heather Knight hopes this summer's T20 World Cup on home soil can be transformative for women's cricket in the UK, nine years after England won the 2017 edition. The 35-year-old captain admits the success was not fully capitalised on due to lack of professional structures at the time. England have not won an ICC trophy since 2017, losing finals to Australia in 2018 and 2022, and semi-finals to South Africa in 2023 and 2025. Knight believes the domestic game is now in a different place with professional structures and The Hundred in place, and hopes to maximise the opportunity of hosting.
