Not the first time australia did this, they first announces single test vs Afghanistan than they cancelld the series

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Naveen ul haq already pulled out I read this morning

Totes should keep politics out of it. SA shoulda totally been playing tests in the 70’s and 80’s.

 

[tony p]

Lets be honest, Australia ONLY want to play ENGLAND & INDIA. These lesser cricketing nations get in the way of making money.
Perfect excuse for Australia not playing them.
Hopefully Rashid Khan will pull out, he's one of the very few internationals that actually perform here.

where was all this outrage when Afghanistan cancelled a tour of Zimbabwe ?

 

[Stefan9]

Well technically Afghanistan should be stripped of test status due to the requirement of having a women's team.

Any team with morals would do the same. Once again Australia leading the way

Indeed. Seems a fairly obvious and right stance to take

What????

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Simple solution: strip Australia of international status and wipe all results obtained by Australian players and teams from the records. See ya Sir 99.94

They weren't going to play them anyway but they sure do have plenty of excellent reasons not to.

The ****ing Taliban run the show over there ffs.

Smith ducking again, much like he ducked Rubel.

I think they probably would have played them for a cheap kill and some easy WC qualification points.

 

[social]

Rashid threatening to quit the BBL after he’s quit the BBL is quite the flex

 

[Line and Length]

CA made the morally correct decision. We live in a country where individual sporting associations make the vast majority of decisions rather than the government.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Anyone that does play against them should be docked points

Here here. Well said.

I understand that it's not exactly easy for the cricketers to speak up for the women in their country, it's not fair to require that of them.

But in that case they should pipe down about this.
