Cricket Australia (CA) has called off the ODI series against Afghanistan in the United Arab Emirates in March.
In a statement, CA explained that the decision followed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s recent announcement regarding further restrictions on women and girls’ education and employment.
“CA is committed to supporting growing the game for women and men around the world, including in Afghanistan, and will continue to engage with the Afghanistan Cricket Board in anticipation of improved conditions for women and girls in the country,” the CA statement read.
“We thank the Australian Government for its support on this matter.”
