At a cricketing degree, when ladies’s and ladies’ cricket is rising quickly world wide it’s heartbreaking that these rising up in Afghanistan are denied this chance, however the appalling oppression of ladies and ladies by the Taliban goes a lot additional.

“The board recognises there are totally different views and opinions on the problem of boycotting the match and has listened fastidiously. We’ve been in shut contact with the Authorities, the Worldwide Cricket Council (ICC), our England Males’s gamers and different stakeholders to debate this matter, in addition to contemplating how greatest the ECB can help these ladies cricketers who’ve fled Afghanistan.

“Following this, we remain of the view that a co-ordinated international response by the cricketing community is the appropriate way forward, and will achieve more than any unilateral action by the ECB in boycotting this match, while we have also heard that for many ordinary Afghans, watching their cricket team is one of the few remaining sources of enjoyment. As such, we can confirm that we will play this fixture.”
