A writer; a harmless drudge, that busies himself in tracing the original, and detailing the signification of words and deeds.

These days, a mostly former writer. Still a drudge. And mostly harmless.

The Afghanistan women's national cricket team won the championship among six teams in a tournament held in Tajikistan last year. The Afghan parliament also praised the team. 3/3

So five Tajik teams?? And a 'friendly' tournament? Translations via Google.

The Tajik page on the ICC website mentions the three matches, but no other teams, and places them at Dushanbe :<https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/associate/tajikistan-cricket-federation>

At the Vahdat Ground perhaps? <https://emergingcricket.com/teams/tajikistan/>
