The @ICC is not an organisation established to resolve political disputes; it is an organisation that should bring nations and people together through cricket.

“I believe a cricketing nation like England, the birthplace of modern cricket, which receives USD 41 million in annual funding from the ICC, should encourage and support a relatively new cricketing nation like Afghanistan, which receives only USD 13 million and continues to face significant travel and economic challenges.
Despite these difficulties, England are currently ranked 8th in ODI cricket, while Afghanistan are two places ahead in 6th position.
Afghanistan have also defeated England in the last two ICC events in which they faced each other. Furthermore, in 2023, Afghanistan A defeated England Lions.

#Kabul has 120k individual borewells. At a 50m average depth, that’s 6,000 km of piping—enough to stretch from Paghman to London!
If laid horizontally, this could have built Kabul’s entire #water network. A powerful metaphor for our struggle with collective action. #Afghanistan
