Afghanistan's female cricketers play an exhibition match at the Junction Oval in Melbourne, with the players hoping to "open doors" for women in the country.

Afghanistan’s women’s cricket team reunited after three years in exile due to the Taliban’s takeover and played a charity match in Melbourne. Team captain Nahida Sapan hopes the match will spark a movement for change.

Cricketer Firooza Amiri says her team will "represent millions of women in Afghanistan who are denied their rights” when the side reunites after more than three years for an exhibition game in Australia on Thursday.
