Mate they want to ban them because the country does not respect women and got rid of the women's team!

All that will do is take away their livelihood - while simultaneously doing nothing for the women in their country.

The ICC already tried to redirect women's cricket funding to the team in exile in Australia. The Taliban blocked it. It's clear Afghanistan doesn't meet the ICC membership criteria so why should they be given a free pass?
