The International Cricket Council (ICC) maintains clear regulations regarding the suspension of member nations from international cricket. Whilst there has been unconstructive public discourse from some irresponsible individuals who had nothing better but to propose a counterproductive recommendation surrounding Afghanistan's cricket status, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) presently maintains its full ICC membership rights to play.

The development of women's cricket in Afghanistan presents a nuanced situation. Prior to the Taliban's return to governance, some meaningful progress was being made to establish women's cricket programmes. Numerous Afghan male cricketers have demonstrated solidarity by vocally supporting women's and girls' education and their right to participate in sports. However, these initiatives were unfortunately suspended following the political transition and the ACB men team cannot be held responsbile for it.

It is crucial to approach this situation with understanding rather than hostility. Calling for blanket bans or refusing to engage with the Afghan men's team does not constructively address the underlying challenges. Such actions might inadvertently punish athletes who have actively advocated for positive change within their community.

The international cricket community should continue to support inclusive cricket development in Afghanistan whilst acknowledging the complex social and political dynamics at play. Rather than promoting division, the focus should be on fostering dialogue and maintaining cricket's role as a unifying force in international relations.

The path forward requires patience, understanding, and constructive engagement rather than isolation or antagonism. Supporting Afghan cricket whilst advocating for inclusive participation represents a more productive approach to achieving meaningful progress.

New Year 2025. Be The Usual You. This Year Take Your Health More Seriously.

31/12/2024

As we bid farewell to 2024, remember that every ending brings a new beginning. Whether this year brought you victories or challenges, let's embrace 2025 with renewed purpose. Be optimistic, but also strategic – work smarter, not just harder. Make time to learn something new each month, prioritise your health through regular exercise, healthy nutrition, and broaden your horizons by exploring new places.

Connect with others meaningfully – you never know whose life you might touch. And while your struggles are valid, maintaining perspective can help: there's always strength to be found in perseverance. Keep faith in God, stay grateful, and never underestimate the power of a genuine smile. Even in life's toughest moments, choose kindness – it costs nothing but could mean everything.

Make 2025 a year of growth, compassion, and positive change. 🌟

Regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining optimal health and enhancing overall well-being. Experts recommend engaging in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. This can include a variety of activities such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or structured fitness routines. Consistent exercise offers numerous benefits, including:

• Improved cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and reducing the risk of heart disease
• Enhanced mental health through the release of endorphins, which can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression
• Increased muscle strength and bone density, which helps prevent age-related muscle loss and reduces the risk of osteoporosis
• Better weight management by boosting metabolism and burning calories
• Improved immune system function, helping your body fight off infections more effectively
• Enhanced cognitive function and potentially reduced risk of cognitive decline

To make exercise a sustainable habit, choose activities you enjoy, vary your routine to prevent boredom, and gradually increase intensity and duration.

Beyond the Storm: My Journey Through Anxiety

Your darkness isn't your destiny – I know because I've walked this path. Think of anxiety and depression not as permanent residents, but as weather passing through your sky. Some days, even breathing feels like lifting mountains – and that's okay. Your struggle isn't a sign of weakness; it's proof of the battles you're fighting that others may never see.

I share this not from textbooks, but from the depths of personal experience. When doctors diagnosed me with severe anxiety, they saw a condition. But I chose to see a challenge. Despite the racing thoughts, the sleepless nights, and the moments when my heart felt like a trapped bird in my chest, I refused to let anxiety write my story.

Each day brought its own mountains, yet I climbed them. Each milestone achieved wasn't just a victory – it was a rebellion against the voice that said, "you can't." I've stood in boardrooms with sweating palms, delivered speeches with a racing heart, and built success while battling the storms within.

This isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving despite the odds. Today, I don't just manage anxiety – I channel it into drive, transform it into purpose, and use it to understand others who walk similar paths.

Your diagnosis isn't your destiny. Your anxiety isn't your identity. Like me, you can perform, achieve, and excel – not in the absence of fear, but in the presence of courage.

This is my story. What mountains are you climbing? What victories, small or large, have you claimed today? Your journey matters, and I'm here to tell you: keep going. Your story is still being written, and the best chapters may be yet to come.

Share your journey. Break the silence. You never know who needs to hear exactly what you've survived. Thank God for Everything.
