The International Cricket Council’s announcement of a support initiative has sparked joy among the women cricketers from Afghanistan and given a new lease of life to their dream of playing together on the international stage.

The Afghan Women’s XI logo is more than a design — it’s a reflection of identity, resilience, and new beginnings. With a cricket ball at its core and national flowers from both Afghanistan and Australia, the logo honours where these women come from and where they’re headed. It’s a quiet but powerful symbol of strength, belonging, and the journey they’re on — both in sport and in life.

My Melbourne isn’t just a film—it’s a mirror. Through stories of resilience, identity, and unexpected connection, it reflects the very heart of the AW Team’s journey. From fleeing conflict to finding community through sport, this film powerfully parallels the lived experiences of the women we stand beside. It’s a cinematic reminder that rebuilding a life is both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
