In short:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a task force and fund for the exiled Afghan women’s cricket team now residing in Australia.
Specifics of the initiative remain unclear, but the cricket boards of Australia, England and India will provide “meaningful support” to Afghan players.
What’s next:
Dr Catherine Ordway, a key figure in the team’s relocation to Australia, is hopeful the fund will match the sum currently given to the Afghan men’s team.
Last week, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the creation of a monetary fund and taskforce to support the displaced Afghan women’s cricket team.
The pledge was both long awaited and somewhat out of the blue.
Since the Taliban’s takeover of the country in 2021, the team has lived in exile, mostly in Canberra and Melbourne, and up until last week’s announcement, the ICC had been conspicuously silent on the issue.
Dr Catherine Ordway, a lawyer and associate professor of sport at the University of Canberra, has been one of the key figures in the team’s relocation and continued quest for recognition.
She told ABC Sport that the decision had caught the team’s players and representatives off-guard, but that it was “absolutely thrilling” nonetheless.
“It came out of left field — we didn’t have any heads up that this was going to be the International Cricket Council’s position,” Dr Ordway said.
“We’d been, of course, calling for it for three years, to have recognition for the Afghan women around the world who aren’t able to play cricket.
“So to have this financial support and recognition … was absolutely thrilling.”

In its statement announcing the initiative, the ICC said it would partner with the cricket boards of Australia, England and India to provide “meaningful support” to Afghan women.
The displaced players will also be offered a “strong high-performance programme that includes advanced coaching, access to world-class facilities and personalised mentorship.”
An anonymous ICC source told the Sydney Morning Herald the players would not be under-resourced, and that the organisation just needed to “work out what’s needed”.
Speaking to ESPN Cricinfo, an ICC spokesperson confirmed the money would be in addition to, not taken away from, the sum already given to the Afghan Cricket Board (ACB) each year, understood to be between $17 and $27 million.
This means that Afghan women cricketers will no longer be tied to the ACB and Dr Ordway is hopeful the newly announced funding will match the figure currently taken by the ACB for the men’s team.

Otherwise, however, the specifics of the initiative remain unclear.
“So of course now, the devil is in the detail, and we work through to see what [the announcement] actually means,” Dr Ordway said.
For Tooba Khan Sarwari, a member of the exiled team now residing in Australia, the announcement is “the start of something really exciting”.
“When I first heard the news, I was overwhelmed with emotions,” Sarwari told ABC Sport.
“After years of waiting, it felt like our voices were finally heard.
“It was such a meaningful decision for us.”

A four-year journey
Dr Ordway, alongside former Australia cricketer Mel Jones and Emma Staples, began to plan the evacuation of members of the team after watching the national women’s football side board one of the last flights out of Kabul before its airport closed in 2021.
Those images were well publicised as the world saw the Taliban regain control of Afghanistan and implement a fundamentalist Deobandi interpretation of Sunni Islam that heavily restricts the rights of women in sport and in wider society.
With its players largely resettled in Australia, the football team has been able to reform in the years since. But it too faces an ongoing battle for institutional recognition.

For Afghanistan’s female cricketers, an exit from the country took a lot longer to organise.
“We were really keen to be able to get the entire families together with the cricket team because we saw how devastating and traumatic it was for the football team to come out here without their families,” Dr Ordway said.
“So it was really important to me that we were able to get full families to safety.
“It was an enormous task that took us via road because the airport was closed, it took us nine or 10 months with a team of people.”
Upon their arrival in Australia, the Australian government granted the players emergency humanitarian visas and they were resettled in the country.
Sarwari has begun a life in Canberra, where she now plays for Eastlake Cricket Club and coaches at the Canberra Grammar School. She said cricket has proved vital to her sense of self in an unimaginably difficult time.
“Cricket was my anchor through all the chaos,”
Sarwari said.
“It gave me a sense of purpose; it allowed me to keep my identity and my dreams alive.”
For Sarwari, cricket has been an “anchor through all the chaos.” (ABC News: Donal Sheil)
Calls for equal investment
Since the Taliban takeover, there has been considerable controversy surrounding the Afghan men’s team’s continued involvement in international cricket, with ICC regulations requiring all full member nations to have a national women’s team.
Cricket Australia has twice postponed limited overs bilateral series between the two nations due to human rights concerns. However, the countries have played each other as part of ICC tournaments during that time, and Afghanistan retains its status as a Test-playing nation.
There have also been calls for a sporting boycott like the one imposed on apartheid-era South Africa, but Dr Ordway said they had never been echoed by members of the women’s team.
“The Afghan women want to see the men play,” Dr Ordway said.
“They are very proud of their team and they love seeing their flag and seeing them succeed at the highest level.”

She also believes that ensuring the money for the women’s team is kept separate from the men’s is a strong strategic move by the ICC.
“The fact that they’ve decided to create a separate pot of money for displaced Afghan women is terrific because that means there’s not going to be any criticism on them that they’ve taken something away from the Afghan cricket men,” Dr Ordway explained.
And she said it was a golden opportunity for the ICC to show it valued Afghanistan’s national women’s team as much as the men’s.
“If the ICC was able to match the money they’re currently giving to the Afghan cricket board, that would be terrific,” Dr Ordway said.
For Sarwari, the most important factor is the message the decision sends to her countrywomen living on the periphery of a society that has excluded them from sport, education and the work force.
“We are not going to just play cricket,” Sarwari said.
“We are going to be voices for millions of Afghan women who have been denied their basic rights.
“We are standing with them and supporting.”

MARION, Ind. [RESULTS] – The first day of the 2025 NAIA Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championship saw four individual champions crowned.
Twelve preliminary events took place on day one, including: 4x100m relay, 1500m, 400m hurdles, 200m, 4x800m relay and 3000m steeplechase.
HEPTATHLON
The outdoor track and field heptathlon event concluded on day one with Mya Hines from Cumberlands emerging as the leader. Hines, a sophomore, accumulated a total of 3084 points, demonstrating consistent performance across all events. Her standout performances included a 14.89-second finish in the 100m hurdles, earning her 856 points, and a strong 25.71-second run in the 200m, which added 823 points to her tally.
Kerrigan Myers, a senior from Midland, closely followed Hines with a total of 3067 points, securing second place. Myers excelled in the 100m hurdles, clocking the fastest time of 13.88 seconds, which was the highest-scoring individual event of the competition with 995 points. Despite a lower performance in the shot put, Myers’ speed in the 200m (25.43 seconds) helped her maintain a competitive edge.
TRACK
The only track event that crowned a champion on day one was the 10,000m, where Jaynie Halterman won her first outdoor title with a time of 34:10.10. Heather Murphy followed closely behind, finishing off Halterman by just 25.39 seconds. The last time the 10k was run in 34 minutes was when Emily Kearney of Milligan (Tenn.) won in 2021 with a time of 34:07.91.
HAMMER THROW
The women’s hammer throw competition was one of three field competitions that took place on the first day of competition. Victoria Lotz from MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) emerged victorious with a remarkable throw of 57.97 meters (190-2.00), securing her first-place finish. Lotz’s fourth attempt was enough to clinch the win.
Madison Sutton from Doane claimed the second spot with a best throw of 57.71 meters (189-4.00). Sutton’s final attempt was where she achieved her best mark of the day.
LONG JUMP
The top four finishers in the long jump finished within .02 of each other. Rosjai Curtis from Park (Mo.) emerged victorious in the long jump with a winning leap of 5.84 meters (19-2.00) in her second attempt.
Linnearia Richards from Siena Heights (Mich.) closely followed in second place with a jump of 5.83 meters (19-1.50), achieved in her first attempt.
Kiana Siefert from Taylor (Ind.) followed with 5.82 meters (19-1.25) and Erica Xayarath from Huntington (Ind.) finished in fourth place with a jump of 5.80 meters (19-0.25).
JAVELIN
In a competitive javelin event, Maddy Wolf from Kansas Wesleyan emerged victorious with a top throw of 44.65 meters (146-6.00), securing first place. Wolf hit her highest mark on her first throw. Kendra Odegard from Valley City State (N.D.) closely followed in second place with a best throw of 44.55 meters (146-2.00). Odegard’s consistent performance across her attempts kept her in contention throughout the event. Mary Lorang from Benedictine (Kan.) followed closely behind, taking third place with a throw of 44.07 meters (144-7.00).
The top eight finishers in each event are NAIA All-Americans.
The second day of the championship will open with the remainder of the heptathlon events at 10 a.m. CT/11 a.m. ET and starting with the long jump.

In this week’s Film Room, we break down newly reported detail on third-party NIL clearinghouse procedures.
Actionable Information Regarding Clearinghouse
Last week, Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports reported on a memo detailing NIL clearinghouse information. Regarding the third-party NIL deal review process, the memo provided that:
- Institutions will determine whether the payor (third party) is an Associated Entity/Individual
- Submitted deals will be reviewed to determine whether they “legitimately advance business objectives”
- A 12-point “Range of Compensation” analysis will be applied to deals to determine if “compensation aligns with similarly situated individuals in comparable deals”
The memo noted that the Range of Compensation uses “historical deal data as benchmarks” and its factors “include athletic performance, social media presence, local and institutional market size, and brand influence.”
The clearinghouse will adjudicate submitted deals as (1) cleared, (2) not cleared, (3) in review or (4) information needed. For those deals “not cleared,” student-athlete options are to (i) renegotiate and submit, (ii) proceed at risk of eligibility consequences, (iii) cancel the deal or (iv) request neutral arbitration. Obviously, it would be best for all involved to avoid such consequences.
What to Do?
The settlement provides that third-party deals involving Associated Entities/Individuals may be analyzed for a valid business purpose—that placeholder is being filled by the clearinghouse. Deals that do not involve Associated Entities/Individuals are not subject to the same scrutiny. We’ve spoken at length on the major implications of this settlement construct in past editions of Film Room.
Now with increased clarity on third-party NIL enforcement, institutions can do two things to best position themselves and reduce regulatory friction for their student-athletes:
- Actively facilitate deals with non-Associated Entities/Individuals. Institutions have great access to businesses that value the promotional opportunities available through joint sponsorship deals involving both the institution and its student-athletes. Yesterday, NIL excellence meant funding the collective. Tomorrow, NIL excellence will be measured by an institution’s ability to strike these sophisticated arrangements.
- Dig into the Range of Compensation factors and ensure student-athletes and Associated Entities/Individuals are tracking so that deals subject to the clearinghouse are best positioned to meet standards.

Endangered Newcastle baths named among UK’s top ten at-risk buildings

A listed “time capsule” building which offers an insight into Tyneside life more than a century ago has been placed on a national endangered Top Ten list.
The Gibson Street baths in Newcastle was opened in 1907. It included a swimming pool and, at a time when many homes lacked the provisions taken for granted today, it also provided individual slipper baths and laundry facilities.
Men and women entered through separate doors. The men’s entrance hall features four remarkable panels – two signed by the celebrated Dorset tile-makers Carter & Co depicting mermaids, and two others showing a water polo match and a diver in striped swimwear.
These have been praised by architectural historian Lynn Pearson as without parallel, even in Britain’s grandest historic baths. A fifth panel lists the 15 members of the Baths & Wash Houses Committee, as well as the architect and builders, beneath Newcastle’s coat of arms.
But the building has been disused and deteriorating for the last nine years.
REVIEW: Mother Courage and her Children, Horden, County Durham
This has prompted the Victorian Society to include the baths in its 2025 Top Ten league of endangered buildings.
Society president Griff Rhys Jones said: “I have lost count of the number of public bath houses that we see in decline, but people truly love these local amenities.”
The Victorian Society is urging Newcastle City Council to seek a sensitive new use for the building. Given the absence of a buyer, the Society recommends renewed collaboration with the community – offering support and extended time to develop a viable reuse proposal that preserves this valuable part of the city’s social and architectural heritage.
They issued a fundraising appeal to “find a good new integrated use for what was once a prime example of public concern and welfare and an illustration of Victorian-Edwardian values at their best.”
The rapid growth of towns and cities in the 19th and early 20th centuries left little provision for public hygiene. With disease widespread, the 1846 Public Baths and Wash-houses Act empowered local authorities to build public bathing facilities, funded via the Poor Rate.
In Newcastle, an 1845 report highlighted how working-class people were left without suitable or private places to bathe.
Costing £28,000 the baths were lavishly fitted out, with stained glass windows and green glazed brick walls. There were 23 slipper baths, and a pool measuring 75ft x 28ft.
Designed by city surveyor F H Halford, it was the first baths in Newcastle to incorporate electricity and water filtration, allowing the water to be cleaned and circulated rather than the pool being filled at the start of the week and emptied at the end.
The city’s Alderman Holmes described it as “the most complete set of baths for their size in England”. The opening ceremony was marked by a performance from Olympic swimmer Arthur ‘Jack’ Jarvis.
The interior pool-hall featured an arched and plastered ceiling, plus amphitheatre seating on both sides, while inside the former men’s entrance, the original turnstile and ticket windows survive.
The building has been marketed by the city council but without success. The baths were closed in 1965 and the swimming pool was boarded over, with the main hall being used for badminton courts until 2016, when the council put the building up for sale.
Campaigners Save Gibson Street Baths for People not Developers succeeded in having the building listed as an Asset of Community Value, and explored the possibility of a business and funding plan for uses such as a social enterprise hotel, cafe, bar and community space.
But the project did not come to fruition and the group posted on its Facebook page: “There is no doubt that it is an amazing building worthy or regeneration and development and that as a long serving public building it would be wonderful to see it kept in the public domain.
“However renovation costs look likely to be in the region of £2.7-3 million and this was not an achievable sum.”
A Newcastle City Council spokesperson said: “Gibson Street Baths became vacant in 2016 after it ceased as a badminton club. As we lacked the significant funding required and the expertise to refurbish it, we put it on the market a year later.
“We received several bids, and a preferred bidder was chosen but unfortunately was unable to access the funds needed to bring it back into use. It is currently wind and watertight albeit in poor condition.
“We have had numerous discussions over the years to bring the property back into use particularly with the Tyne & Wear Building Preservation Trust however due to funding issues none of these have come to fruition yet.
“We recognise this is an historically important building and want to see it saved and brought back into use and so will look to market it again in the near future.”

Elise Cooper’s involvement began when her daughter, Sophia, joined the Sydney Northern Beaches Breakers at age 12. Her dedication and support towards her daughter’s water polo career inspired Elise to shift from the stands to the club rooms, volunteering her time behind the scenes.
Now in her third season as team manager, she continues to support the team out of her deep appreciation for the club and the sport.
“The ladies prior to me being manager had done such a great job, that I thought it was my turn to step up and be manager. This is my third season of being team manager and I really love it,” Elise said.
“There’s so many great people that I’ve met through the club that I’ve really become friends with,” she said.
The growth of the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships since its inception is a testament to the popularity and participation at a grassroots level.
“The first year we were at nationals, it was a much smaller pool of teams and clubs playing,” Elise said.
“Now there’s a team from Pilbara, how amazing is that? Such a small community and they’ve got a water polo club here representing. And I think that is a testament to how amazing the sport is,” she said.
Stressing the importance of volunteers, Elise acknowledged the vital roles they play within the water polo community. She urged greater involvement to ensure the sport continues to grow, particularly in youth pathways.
“Clubs don’t exist without volunteers from the committee level, all the way through to tour managers and booking accommodation. The kids don’t get to play if it doesn’t exist, so I think it’s really important,” Elise said.
“You can do as much, or as little as your life and time allows. If you love water polo as much as I do, step in and give it a go,” she said.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 2024-25 NBA MVP. That’s going to make him a very rich man.
With his first MVP win, Gilgeous-Alexander is now eligible to sign the largest contract in the history of the NBA at five years, $380 million, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks. The one catch is he will have to wait until the 2026 offseason to sign it.

That contract, which Gilgeous-Alexander can get no matter what happens next season, would pay him $76 million annually, which would exceed even Shohei Ohtani’s average annual value (even counting the Los Angeles Dodgers star’s deferral money). Even better, because he split with his agent a few months ago, none of that money will be going to agent fees.
The Thunder have also been pretty clear they’re ready to give him that contract, despite their small market.

Gilgeous-Alexander was already on track to cash in this summer, as his two All-NBA selections made him eligible for a four-year, $293 million extension, which works out to 30% of the salary cap.
Advertisement
However, players become eligible for 35% of the salary cap (the supermax) if they enter their eighth or ninth season with either an MVP award in the past three seasons (check) or All-NBA selections or a Defensive Player of the Year Award in either the past season or two of the past three seasons (also check). The player also has to be playing for either the team that drafted him or one that acquired him during his rookie contract (check).
So Gilgeous-Alexander only needed to make an All-NBA team, even the third team, to be supermax-eligible next year, but he ended up winning MVP and (you would assume) a third straight All-NBA first-team selection.
Advertisement
Gilgeous-Alexander is already under contract for three more seasons, by virtue of his earlier five-year, $172 million extension. Between that contract, the supermax and his original $17 million rookie deal, he will have $576 million in career earnings through the first 14 years of his career.
No wonder he was feeling so generous he bought Rolex watches for the entire Thunder team.

“The coaching staff are very excited about our upcoming tournament in Denver. The team we are bringing to Colorado is strong, and ready to compete. There are a few new faces this year, and they complement the rest of the team well. We have added depth on the court and the bench, and a bigger arsenal of tools to work with.
“After an incredible showing at the ECVA’s in October, we realized that we have the potential to be a very technically sound team and have spent this season tightening that up. We have focused a lot of time dialling in our ball control, blocking, and coverage on defence. We’ve also spent a considerable amount of time working with our Middle and Pin Hitters, on offensive transition, and strengthening our setter-hitter connection. We’re happy to report that the tedious work has paid off. With our passing percentage much higher, we are able to run a more well-rounded offence. The Middles are getting into the game more and our Pin Hitters are as effective as ever.
“I want to give a quick shout out to the entire Men’s National Team. They have all worked very hard to get us to where we are. Due to the nature of our practices, and really honing in on the technical part of the game, its taken a tremendous amount of discipline to stay present and dedicated. We believe their hard work will pay off and that will be proven in Denver.
“Finally, one last shout out to Olek Rymon-Lipinski. His dedication and hard work throughout the year have been inspiring for the entire team. Unfortunately, due to an ACL injury he can no longer travel with us. We all wish him a speedy recovery, and his presence in Denver will be missed.”
