ICC Champions Trophy: England To Boycott Afghanistan Over Taliban? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani
England politicians have asked the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to boycott their Champions Trophy fixture against Afghanistan. The advice comes due to the Taliban’s poor stance on women’s rights in the country. Ever since the Taliban’s takeover, women’s sport has suffered in the country. While the ECB has responded to the politicians’ statements, they have asked ICC to take action. Is an ICC snub possible? Rupha Ramani looks at how the Taliban’s regressive approach is hurting cricket’s rise in the country and looks if the ICC will take strict action against Afghanistan over the absence of a women’s team.
