52 year old Rashid Khan not happy. You know what old timer, I don’t give a f**k if you don't play the BBL.
Don't mix sport with politics seems to be the line. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the decision by the political entity The Taliban to ban women from sport a political one? If not, I say don't mix religion with sport and don't treat women as if they're slaves and think you can take a moral stance.

The only reason this looks awkward for CA.

Is there piss poor history of treating smaller nations in cricket like shit and using any excuse to avoid playing them.

They wouldn't dare boycott a series against India.

The price of being virtuous is hypocrisy.

The way Taliban treat women is deplorable but if CA think that women have it much better in Pakistan then they are delusional. No to mention other minorities like gay people.

Parts of India aren't much better.

I haven't seen anything saying that CA thinks Pakistan is better. Culturally Pakistan, and Australian tbh, has a long way to go but the Taliban, Afghanistan's government are treating women like domesticated animals or worse.

The fact that Afghanistan doesn't have a women's team should actually see them barred from the ICC.

If the decision is specifically in relation to female participation in sport as opposed to overall conditions then I can live with it.

I still have my doubts they would make the same move against Pakistan.

100% agree with you. This is the issue that seems to be forgotten in the MSM.

After

- bending over to the BCCI over the whole Monkeygate controversy 15 years ago

- agreeing not to use DRS in matches against India for years in order to satisfy the BCCI's demands

- agreeing not to play tests against India at the WACA after we skittled them within 3 days in 2012 on a pitch with just a slight tinge of green (which was nothing compared to the green top a month earlier in Hobart against New Zealand, yet all the Indian fans kicked up a stink about how green the WACA pitch was). The Roland Garros-type pitch that was dished up for the Aussies in Chennai the following year was pure, unjustified backlash and revenge.

- agreeing not to play a day/night test in Adelaide against them in 2018

- bending over again to the BCCI to play a random 3 match ODI series in India during the middle of the Australian cricket season back in January 2020,

there is absolutely no way in a million years that CA would DARE to even whisper a word against against India if they were at the center of this "gender equality" controversy, rather than Afghanistan. CA would pay a very big price with their virtue signaling stunt.

At the end of the day, $$$ rules the roost and the BCCI has CA (and the other cricket nations for that matter) by the balls. CA are cowards: they know they can bully the second-tier nations (e.g. Afghanistan over this issue, postponing test matches in the past against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe etc.), but the same shite won't work for tours which generate a lot of revenue.

I like Rashid but that is the statement of a young and misled dude.

This idea that sport and politics are separate and should be separate has never been true at any stage in recorded history.

Just finished watching the AB 3 part special for the second time. What a f**king legend Allan Border is. Make no mistake any of you young blokes around here who never saw him play and lead his team - this guy, along with Bob Simpson, turned Australian cricket from a joke circa 1986 into a dominant juggernaut from basically 1989 onwards...

Gave himself a 6 out of 10 as a player/captain.... Humble in the extreme, he's an 8.5 minimum. No question.
