ICC Reappoints Ganguly, Supports Women's Cricket
The ICC's task force will provide displaced Afghan women cricketers with direct monetary assistance, advanced coaching, and tailored mentorship, while a dedicated fund will be established to support their careers, aiming to preserve their talents and promote women's cricket globally.
Sourav Ganguly has been reappointed as the Chairman of the Men's Cricket Committee by the International Cricket Council, while the ICC has also formed a task force to support displaced Afghan women cricketers, providing them with monetary assistance, coaching, and mentorship.
The task force, in collaboration with the England and Wales Cricket Board, will establish a dedicated fund to support the women cricketers, aiming to preserve their careers and reinforce cricket's unifying role. The ICC has joined forces with the ECB to help the women cricketers in Afghanistan, who have been displaced due to various challenges.
The ICC has also appointed new members to the Men's and Women's Cricket Committees, including Temba Bavuma, South Africa's Test and ODI captain, and Avril Fahey and Pholetsi Moseki to the ICC Women's Cricket Committee. The appointments are part of the ICC's efforts to promote and develop cricket globally, with a focus on supporting women's cricket.
The initiative to support displaced Afghan women cricketers is a significant step towards promoting women's cricket and providing opportunities for talented players to pursue their careers. The ICC's efforts to support women's cricket are a positive development for the sport, and the reappointment of Sourav Ganguly as the Chairman of the Men's Cricket Committee is expected to bring stability and continuity to the committee.
