As always Aussies show balls and punch above their weight as a nation of less than 30 million people. 

 

Wish we did the same. Totally and absolutely de-legitimize the rogue barbaric subhuman Taliban.

CA has officially announced now that it is scrapped.

I think its against ICC rules too. Might be the end of afghanistan as a cricket nation

This was women test, so, they had to cancel it if Afghanistan wouldn't send their team. What's about having balls in this?

The remaining players will have to get their paydays from T20 leagues around the world.

I had read something like this in the morning. May have misread it.

IMO Afg shouldn't be allowed to play the men's T20 WC as well. Similar to apartheid situation, govt can't treat women like this in 21st century, filthy barbaric scum this Taliban. 

 

As long as they have this policy, no sporting contact with that country, whether it be cricket or Fifa or Olympics. Even Saudi and Iran allow women's participation in sports these days, of course with dress regulations but they don't prohibit them any more. Pakistan have women's cricket team, women athletes, despite being one of the most conservative countries on the planet. 

 

Hate Taliban, evil in its purest form.

This is the problem when you have to oppose just for the sake of it.

Oh. So Afghanistan doesn't have woman team. Were women active in sports in Afghanistan before Taliban?

Arey that was a misunderstanding on my part. I misread woman test somewhere because they have been awarded test status.

Afghanistan do have women's cricket team and have also been given test status.

Agree.

There were reports BCCI was planning additional Test match vs Afghans next year including ODI series..  That might also get scrapped looks like.

Pakistan establishment supports Taliban.

 

Will be interesting to see how the cricketing world will react to that.

Afghanistan has NEVER played any women's international cricket. What you are talking about is ICC awarding Test and LOI status to ALL it's full members, not specific to Afghanistan.
