England Urged To Boycott Champions Trophy Match Vs Afghanistan By British Politicians

By AFP News January 07, 2025 • 09:34 AM View: 484

A group of more than 160 British politicians have called on the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to boycott next month's Champions Trophy match against Afghanistan as a stand against the Taliban regime's assault on women's rights.

Female participation in sport has effectively been outlawed since the Taliban's return to power in 2021, a move that puts the Afghanistan Cricket Board in direct contravention of the International Cricket Council's rules.
