New Delhi: The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) is committed to promoting women’s games in the country and optimistic that their one-time test against Australia in November will continue, the new Chairman of Azizullah Fazli has told Reuters.
ACB’s concern was isolated after the Australian Cricket (CA) threatened to memo test match against the men’s team if the new Taliban government Afghanistan did not allow women to play sports.
The Australian Council said that encouraging the growth of female cricket “very important” to it but Fazli said communication ca was the result of “misunderstanding” which was being cleaned.
“We officially talked to them and the problem of the test match will be resolved,” Fazli said.
Australian cricket spokesman confirmed that they were in “ordinary dialogue with ACB” but said that, because things stood up, the board position on the Hobart test did not change from last week.
The line was triggered when a Representative of Taliban last week told Australian Broadcasters SBS that he did not think women would be allowed to play cricket because it was “no need to oppose Islam.
Fazli, who returned as ACB Chairperson last month in the development of the first major cricket in the country since the Taliban Taking control, said he was still waiting for instructions from the government in the future of women’s cricket.
“Afghanistan’s new government focuses on his priority program,” Administrator said.
“They have not told us anything about women’s cricket (but) we are committed to maintaining and supporting cricket Women.
“When the last Taliban ruled Afghanistan two decades ago, girls were not permitted to attend school and women were prohibited from work and education.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) government will discuss the issue at the next board meeting in November.
Australia Test Captain Team Paine said Pek.
Then that other countries might refuse to play Afghanistan at the Twenty20 men’s World Cup, which starts next month, because of this problem.
Fazli put aside such prospects.
“There is no threat to Afghan’s participation in the T20 World Cup,” he said.
“We have started our camp preparation.
As a full member team, our international relations with other full member countries are very good.” ACB also found themselves in a awkward situation last week when Rashid Khan resigned as captain of the Twenty20 World Cup troops, said voters did not consult him before choosing a team.
Fazli said Mohammad Prophet’s versatile colleague would lead the team at the Showpiece tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
“Mohammad the Prophet is a senior team player, and now he is captain,” he added.
“He knows his team members very well.”
