The Afghan women's cricket team was in a desperate situation after the Taliban took over Afghanistan. The team had looked to the Afghanistan Cricket Board for assistance, but received none. It was then that Mel Jones, a former Australian cricketer, stepped in to help. Jones, who was in quarantine in an Australian hotel at the time, received a message from an Indian journalist about the team's situation. She then put together a network of volunteers, including her friend Emma Staples and Dr. Catherine Ordway, who had previously helped evacuate Afghan women footballers. The team worked tirelessly to organize visas and transport for the Afghan team, eventually getting them out of the country and to safety in Pakistan and then Australia. The evacuation was a complex and challenging process, with the team facing numerous obstacles along the way. However, with the help of their volunteers, they were finally able to escape the Taliban rule and start a new life in Australia. The team's story is a testament to the power of human kindness and the importance of helping those in need.
