The International Cricket Council (ICC) isn’t expected to enforce any sanctions on Afghanistan. The development comes after England and South Africa expressed their desire for ICC to ban Afghanistan for now allowing the country to field a Women’s Cricket Team.
Over the last couple of days, stars have asked the ECB to not play their group-stage fixture of the ICC Champions Trophy against the Afghans. The other day, 160 UK Politicians wrote to the ECB again to boycott the fixture. The last time, the ECB refused to budge and claimed that they would take part in the tournament and play the game.
“The ICC should clearly deliver on their own rules and make sure that they’re supporting women’s cricket as the ECB do. That’s why we support the fact that the ECB are making representations to the ICC on this issue,” the British prime minister’s spokesperson said.
After England, anti-apartheid campaigner Peter Hain has also requested Cricket South Africa (CSA) to fight against the ban on women’s cricket. Australia meanwhile has refused to play any bilateral series against Afghanistan as is the case with England. Amidst all the escalation, the ICC isn’t expected to ban Afghanistan from taking part in the tournament.
Australia, South Africa, England, and Afghanistan are all paired in the same group at the Champions Trophy. And as per reports, there is a growing belief that if one country refuses to play against Afghanistan, the remaining two will also be pressured to follow the same suit.
