English cricketers urged to reconsider Afghan T20 tournament
Original: English players urged to reconsider Afghan T20 tournament English cricketers aiming to play in a men's T20 franchise tou
English cricketers planning to take part in a men's T20 franchise tournament organised by the Afghanistan Cricket Board have been urged to reconsider, with critics asking them to think about their "daughters, sisters or mothers". The warning reflects anger over the Taliban's restrictions on women in Afghanistan, including the effective ban on women playing cricket, and raises questions about players' involvement in an ACB-run competition.
Why now: Debate over whether England players should take part in Afghan cricket while women's rights are suppressed by the Taliban.
