Aaron Finch says, Australia player’s back stance on Afghanistan Test: Australia’s Test captain Tim Paine said teams could refuse to play Afghanistan in the World Cup and asked how the ICC could sanction their participation in the tournament.
Cricket Australia‘s governing body said it would cancel the Nov. 27 test in Hobart if reports were confirmed that women in the South Asian nation would be banned from the game.
“It’s a really challenging time no doubt, but we’re supportive of Cricket Australia’s position,” Finch told
Australia’s players are backing the country’s board of directors in threatening to drop a test with Afghanistan if the Taliban regime bans women from playing cricket. White Balls captain Aaron Finch said Wednesday.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said last month that it was committed to women’s cricket. Despite waiting for instructions from the government on its future.
Australia’s Test captain Tim Paine said last month that teams could refuse to play in the World Cup in Afghanistan. And asked how the International Cricket Council, the sport’s world governing body, could sanction their participation in the tournament.
The ICC will discuss Afghanistan and women’s cricket at its next board meeting during the World Cup. Finch would not say whether Australia would be comfortable with the Afghans playing at the World Cup. Where they will not meet unless both teams reach at least the semi-finals.
The Afghan men’s team prepares for the Twenty20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates and Oman starting October 17.
“That’s an ICC decision,” he said.”We’re hopeful that things can resolve themselves and Afghanistan can play a huge part in international cricket.
“We’ve seen how important they are, the development of their game in Afghanistan no doubt is huge.”
