The Australian cricket board recently stated that if Afghanistan does not allow women to play
cricket, the one-off Test match will be cancelled. According to recent events, Afghanistan
Cricket Board (ACB) head Azizullah Fazli claimed that the ACB is committed to growing women's
cricket. He also hoped that the Test match against Australia would go off without a
hitch.
From November 27 to December 1, Australia will play a one-off Test match in
Afghanistan. Cricket recently made a case for women's cricket, claiming that it was vital to the
sport. In response to claims in the media that the Taliban regime is refusing to allow women's
cricket in the nation, the CA has announced that it will not play the Test match if this is the
case.
Last month, Azizullah Fazli was re-elected as chairman of the ACB. He was still
waiting for official directives on the country's future of women's cricket.
Tim Paine,
Australia's Test captain, has spoken out against the situation. Other countries may be hesitant
to play against Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup due to this issue. The ACB head, on the other
hand, ruled out any possibilities and stated that the country's involvement in the high-profile
tournament was not in jeopardy.
