WU really gonna tour Afg?;)!

Safety concerns? We should not be touring or even playing against a country that bans their women from playing that or other sports. Not a country that has a policy of keeping girls out of school.

@Brerzerk

low hanging fruit


we gladly play in the UAE and Yemen be damned


if we don’t advocate at ICC level to ban AFG then what’s the sense of not touring there… we play them just fine at World Cup level…when we qualify

The more practice vs spin based and stocked teams before the WC in a spin friendly environment -India is welcome. Besides when they play WI in the Caribbean no one says squat! They wont get better vs spin prep against OZ/Eng/SA/NZ

@Halliwell

We shouldn't play vs any of them in any sport. Sadly Caricom ( ironically Manley was instrumental) circumvented The Glen eagles Agreement by allowing Robin Jackman to rep England in Yard and Bim. But our principles were already compromised and held hostage by finding a way to "accommodate" Sobers' playing that double-wicket tourney in Rhodesia. Funny how England refused to play a WC game in Zim (which cost WI a semi spot) because of Mugabe but not strident about The Taliban. I'd be sorry for the players but boards/ICC should come together and ban them until.they treat women better.
