From the article I read (probs a year ago so who knows whats happened since then) most of them were playing for domestic cricket teams but were still adament they wanted to play for the AFG national team at some point. Would love to have them in our state leagues if not national - though thats a hard ask given our current squad.
Did your coach tell you to stall 5 seconds before it happened?
On BF, yes, I doubt any games involving these two would've gone past two pages. Not the world though, the r/cricket thread has 24K posts.
How many countries do you actually think are going to tour there while the Taliban is in control? Like for real?
None will want to go there, but you can't have a team not play home games for 30 years.
Not really the point though.
They don't deserve to have anyone to tour them right now. Touring them legitimizes their bigotry
If the regime is in for 30 to 50 years, they never get to play a home game?
That's unsustainable.
So is their attitude towards one half of their country
The women don't even get to play an away game in that scenario
I mean, I prefer not playing them at all. Perhaps losing something that is valuable to them might make the Taliban think about not taking away things of value to women; you know, like education.
They have a penchant of folding like cheap suits in knockout stages. This is England's tournament to lose, unfortunately.
I guess Aust will have to make do with the 2 other trophies for now......time to give serial WC chokers in SA and India a chance to redeem themselves....as for Eng, well Aust beat them and Aust are crap, so India have them covered, whilst Afghanistan have played their final already.
