Afghan women demand cricket's governing body takes stand against Taliban
Cricket's governing body is under fire from Afghan women after being banned from playing by the Taliban, while men have continued competing. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been accused of making "unfair decisions" following the deterioration of women's rights under Afghanistan's hardline rulers. Now political pressure has been growing, including from more than 160 MPs and peers, for the England men's cricket team to boycott their upcoming Champions Trophy match against Afghanistan next month.
