Episode Details

In this special episode of The Paddock and the Pavilion, I am thrilled to welcome back Shazia Rahman Zazai, the former captain of the Afghanistan women’s cricket team, for the first part of an inspiring three-part series.

Shazia reflects on her remarkable experiences since arriving in Australia, sharing highlights from her successful 2023/24 season with Eastlake Cricket Club in Canberra. You’ll also hear from a teammate Kamalika Dasguota and the club’s president Michael Anderson about how this talented young Afghan woman has settled in and made an impact on the team and the club community.

Stay tuned for parts two and three, where Shazia will open up about her life in Australia, her thoughts on the current situation in Afghanistan, and exciting news about her move to Grade 1 cricket in Sydney.

An unmissable story of resilience, passion, and triumph—this is not to be missed.

Shazia first joined me in episode 225 - The road from turmoil to hope
