Champions Trophy: England's Buttler Hopes Key Clash Provides Hope To Afghans Amid Struggles
The England Cricket Board: England skipper Jos Buttler, on Tuesday, hoped that their crucial Group B with Afghanistan acts as a source of hope to Afghan women, facing restrictions on their rights under the Taliban regime.
The England Cricket Board had previously termed as "gender apartheid" the restrictions imposed on women in Afghanistan as the team came under pressure to boycott the match with the men's team of the Asian country.
The ECB had released a statement earlier this month, in the build-up to the tournament confirming that the team will play the game. The skipper stated that he hopes the clash at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday brings ‘hope and enjoyment’ amidst the regular day struggles.
