I'm Afghan and the biggest misunderstanding that the west have is they think the Taliban care about cricket. If you ban Afghan Cricket the Taliban will be even happy about this. Only the Afghan people will suffer including the same women and girls you guys talk about. Ask them and they'll tell you that Cricket is the only source of happiness for Afghans and yet you want to take that away from us

Do you dare raising the same question regarding Israel?

hypocrisy on steroid

[@zyoutube153]

So taking a knee for blm movement is perfectly fine. Not playing Afghanistan because of girls education etc is perfectly fine. Olonga's black arm band as 'death of democracy' is perfectly fine. Moeen ali's save Gaza is not good? What nonsense is this?

[@Abolfazl124-f9]

Give Afghanistan to Taliban. Left 20 b dollars weapons in Afghanistan for taliban. Not letting them play.

[@herryporter4440]

True . Pukhtunes suffer in Afghanistan and Pukhtunes suffer in Pakistan. And now this unbelievable shit where they say they boycott playing against Afghanistan Not fair

🇬🇧 We ❤ Afghanistan 🇬🇧

Afghans have literally no happiness left to them except cricket and on the other hand, the Taliban themselves have expressed openly to ban cricket for men as well because they consider it a waste of precious time. So where taliban do not care about bigger pressures such as not getting recognized by other nations, banning cricket will only hurt Afghan nation and not the Taliban. I hope cool heads will prevail and the Governments would understand the real issue and consequences of their actions on the suppressed nations.

Yes Because country represent and make its national team give flag status everything. But now Afghanistan flag already different country is different also this team not made under Taliban government. So, Afghanistan team don’t have real representation of country and government. It’s like a some private league team ! Why private league team is playing with other nations teams ? Why they earning from other nations matches ! This is inequality and injustice and unfair system of ICC.

[@herryporter4440]

Why should teams boycott playing against Afghanistan? What’s there fault? Ask those powers who destroyed Afghanistan by attacking it and and leaving it in the hands of Talibans with all destructive weapons

[@mansuryayas]

Why shouldn't Teams Ban England for being a complacent by stander and also a supporter of the Genocide in Palestinians in Israel

[@RohullahSahil-ww9ny]

. We all Afghan accept this pain that the women should not go to School , of course it's difficult but we can't do anything. When it comes to Cricket no one has the right to take this right from us if you or now understand that cricket is our only happiness the only thing that makes us happy please don't take this from us 😢 think about the other option to force the government to allow girls for their education. Thanks

[@shahidmaseed7]

It will have a zero impact on Taliban as they don't give a fuck about you nor cricket but it will hurt the common Afghans so don't be bullshit

[@TasneemAhmedKhanDurrani]

[@ismatkhan1437]

[@teki2593]

So tou think the people who are so raricalised that they don't even spare their daughters and make them live like slaves will give up their radicalised views for a sport?? It will only end up destroying cricket in Afghanistan.
