New Delhi, Jan 12: An extremely disappointed and saddened Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said on Wednesday it will officially write to the International Cricket Council (ICC) about Cricket Australia (CA) withdrawal from the three-match men’s ODI series to be hosted by them in March.
Earlier in the day, CA has said in an official statement that it has decided to withdraw from a men’s ODI series against Afghanistan to be played in the UAE in March, which is a part of the ICC Super League, after consulting with the government and following a recent announcement by the Taliban on banning women’s and girls’ education, employment and ability to access parks and gyms.
ABC has also said that they could re-consider the participation of Afghanistan players in the Big Bash League if CA doesn’t take back the decision of not playing an ODI series against their men’s team. ACB further said the decision taken by CA will severely impact the growth of cricket in the country. (IANS)
