Kabul: Taliban confirm on Wednesday that women in Afghanistan will not be allowed to play any sports, including cricket.
Moving is now placing a one-time male test match between Australia and Afghanistan for November in Hobart in doubt.
“I don’t think women will be allowed to play cricket because it is not necessary that women have to play cricket.
In cricket, they might face a situation where their faces and bodies will not be closed.
Islam does not let women look like this.
This is the Media Era, and will There are photos and videos, and then people watch it.
Islam and the Islamic Emirates do not allow women to play cricket or play the type of exercise where they are exposed to, “said Ahmadullah Wasiq, deputy head of the Taliban Cultural Commission, in an interview with SBS news.
On November 2020, twenty-five women’s cricket was awarded a central contract by Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB).
It also held a 21-day training camp for 40 women’s cricket in Kabul.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) requires 12 full members to have a national women’s team and only the full member of the ICC allowed to play test matches.
When asked if there were no women’s cricket which means ICC calls from the Hobart test, WasiQ said the Taliban would not compromise.
“Even for this, if we face challenges and problems, we have fought for our religion so that Islam must be followed.
We will not cross Islamic values even if it carries the opposite reaction.
We will not leave our Islamic rules.” He added that Islam allowed women to come out based on the needs such as shopping and sports were not considered necessity.
“In cricket and other sports, women will not get the code of Islamic clothing.
It is clear that they will be affected and will not follow the dress code, and Islam does not allow it.” The Australian Minister of Trade and Tehan described the decision by the Taliban to ban women’s athletes from playing sports as “very disappointing”.
“Most Australians will truly hate the idea that girls (and) ‘Omen will not be allowed to play sports.
This is something that must be considered by our sports code and see very carefully.
The idea that you will stop.
Women playing sports is something that will contrary to what every Australian think is the right thing to do, “Tehan told reporters in Canberra on Wednesday.
