Cricket Scotland has decided to halt all cricket-related activities with Afghanistan, excluding ICC events, driven by serious concerns regarding the Taliban’s treatment of women and broader human rights issues. This move underscores their dedication to promoting women’s involvement in cricket. While ICC tournaments continue as planned, no bilateral series will be organised. The policy will be reassessed each year, or following significant progress in women’s rights.
