Australia Set To Call Off Historic Afghanistan Test After Taliban Bans Women's Cricket

By IANS News September 09, 2021 • 10:40 AM View: 2013

The first Test match between the men's teams of Australia and Afghanistan looks set to be called off after Afghanistan's newly-installed Taliban government announced its opposition to women from the Islamic nation playing cricket.

In a statement released on Thursday, Cricket Australia confirmed it would be unable to proceed with the planned Test at Hobart from November 27 if news reports of Taliban views on the women's game were true.
