Description: Rukhsana, a spirited young journalist, is summoned to the infamous Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice to face its terrifying minister, Zorak Wahidi. A cricket tournament is announced, with the winning team to travel abroad to represent Afghanistan at an international level.

The tournament offers hope — a means of escape for her brother and young cousins. And for Rukhsana, escape is essential — Wahidi wants to marry her, a frightening proposition which will enslave her in his home.

With the help of her cousins, Rukhsana devises an audacious plan that could ensure their freedom. All they have to do is learn to play cricket — and win.
