Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper plays a game of cricket with members of the Afghan Refugee Women’s Cricket Team at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in central London. The team was set up during the Afghan Republic in 2010, but lost their recognition as a national team following the Taliban’s return to power. Most members of the women’s cricket team fled the country, and the majority are now based in Australia, where they have rebuilt their lives as refugees, and campaign for recognition.
