Inspiring resilience
What a wonderful gesture of solidarity. It's heartbreaking that these athletes have to flee their country just to play, but their courage is truly moving.
King Charles meets exiled Afghan women’s cricket team in London
DUBAI: King Charles on Wednesday met the Afghan women’s cricket team at Clarence House in London as a sign of support for the players who officially are no longer allowed to represent their country due to a ban by the Taliban regime, several British media outlets reported. The team is in exile, and the players told the King how they escaped from Afghanistan so that they could keep their ambitions of playing cricket alive. The Taliban’s order to stop all women’s sport in the country means the cricket team can no longer take part in official competitions.
