NEW DELHI - After years of showcasing Afghanistan 's remarkable rise as a success story, the International Cricket Council is under pressure to crack the whip on its member nation, which has seen major curtailment of women 's rights by the Taliban government.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board had 25 contracted women players in 2020 but most of them are now living in exile in Australia following the Taliban takeover of their country in August 2021. The ICC has formed a task force headed by its deputy chairman Imran Khwaja, who is leading "the ongoing dialogue on this matter", the official said.Star players Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi have raised voice against the "deeply unjust" move to deny Afghan women access to education.

Afghanistan became a test-playing nation in 2017 and finished sixth in the 2023 ODI World Cup beating former champions England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in group matches. Britain's Culture minister Lisa Nandy was also apprehensive of the utility of boycotting a cricket team."They are not the people we should be penalising for the Taliban's appalling actions against women and girls..."

Australia also play Afghanistan only in multi-team ICC events and have refused to host them more than once.
