Should England play Afghanistan?

I think cricket is sports. and there should be no politics in the sports.
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

ah yes the old classic human rights = politics.

usually spouted by those who love a bit of politics in sport when it suits their bandwagon.

Sort of related. Australia doing their bit to get Afghanistan women back playing cricket

"An Afghanistan women's cricket team, consisting of refugees who now live in Australia, will play a T20 match at the Junction Oval on Thursday

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

Because I'm emotionally dysfunctional and ethically questionable I'm gonna "fax over feels" this as I think it makes it impossible to argue with on any level

ICC funding is given contractually on the condition that it is used to fund both a mens' and womens' team. AFG are giving it entirely (apart from whatever is being syphoned off by corruption) to the men. What they're doing isn't far off stealing. The ICC letting the entire world see them get away with that is absolutely ****ed.
