Human Rights Watch calls for boycott of Afghanistan Cricket Team

Human Rights Watch has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to prevent the Afghanistan national cricket team from participating in international games and to suspend the membership of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB).

In a statement released on Wednesday, the organization emphasized that the Afghanistan national cricket team should remain sanctioned until women are allowed to access education and participate in sports. The organization noted that the Afghanistan Cricket Board is under the control of the Taliban.
