KABUL (SW) – Australia’s scrapping of a proposed cricket series with Afghanistan has been widely condemned by the fans and cricketers.<\/p>\n

Following extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the Australian Government, Cricket Australia has decided that it is unable to proceed at this time with the upcoming ICC Super League three-match Men\u2019s ODI series between Australia and Afghanistan scheduled for the UAE in March 2023, said an official statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This decision follows the recent announcement by the Taliban of further restrictions on women\u2019s and girls\u2019 education and employment opportunities and their ability to access parks and gyms, it added.<\/p>\n

The Afghanistan Cricket Board has not commented on this.<\/p>\n

Did Cricket Australia <\/span>@CricketAus <\/span>imposed any restrictions on their cricket team\/players bcaz of the war crimes committed by their soldiers in <\/span>#Afghanistan<\/span>? If not, their today\u2019s statement makes no sense! It\u2019s just a show off and pure double standards”, tweeted one cricket fan.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Time to say won\u2019t be participating in big bash after this until they stop these childish decisions that\u2019s how they went about the one off test now ODI when a country is going through so much in place off being supportive you want to take the only reason of happiness from them”, tweeted Afghan cricket star Naveen Ul Haq.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
