‘Do not isolate us from international cricket’, Afghanistan’s cricket board tells Australia

Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) CEO Hamid Shinwari on Friday asked Cricket Australia (CA) to reconsider its decision not to host its men’s team for a Test in November after the Taliban banned women from playing sport, saying such a move will only isolate the strife-torn country.

Soon after forming an interim government, the Taliban banned women from playing cricket or any others sports, casting doubts over Afghanistan men’s team Test status.

As per ICC rules, all Test playing nations must have a women’s team as well.
Cricket Australia (CA) on Thursday said that its men’s team’s season-opening Test against Afghanistan, slated to start on November 27 in Hobart, will be scrapped due if Taliban doesn’t allow women in sports.
