Cricket Australia has called off a series against Afghanistan for the second time in as many years due to “government advice”. Australia’s men were scheduled to face Afghanistan in three Twenty20s this year under the International Cricket Council’s future tours program. But CA has postponed the series that would have been played in the United Arab Emirates instead of Afghanistan, where the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
“CA continues its strong commitment to supporting participation by women and girls in cricket around the world and will continue to actively engage the International Cricket Council and work closely with the Afghanistan Cricket Board to determine what actions could be taken to support the resumption of bilateral matches in the future.” In March 2023, CA called off an ODI series against Afghanistan due to concerns over the human rights of women and girls in the country.
