The Afghanistan women’s national cricket team, after a five-year hiatus, played their first friendly match in England and secured a victory, defeating the MCC Foundation team.
This marks the first time in five years that Afghan women cricketers have returned to competitive action, beginning their new journey with a win.
Following this historic victory, videos of the players celebrating and rejoicing were widely shared on social media. In these clips, the players can be seen celebrating their win on the team bus—scenes that reminded many people of similar celebrations by Afghanistan’s men’s national cricket team in 2023 after their victory against Pakistan.
This achievement by the Afghanistan women’s national cricket team was warmly welcomed by many Afghans. A large number of social media users congratulated the players and expressed hope that they will secure further victories for Afghanistan in future matches.
