This is about sports. ICC demands member states have a women's cricket program and Afghanistan has banned women from playing cricket. ICC should do their job and penalise breaches of their own "sports" rules

I'd rather they didn't bother, and while they're at it find something to boycott SA with too.

ICC should take a position on that. Some teams individually boycotting them is not good for the tournaments.
