England Cricket Team: Big information is coming out before the ICC Champions Trophy. In fact, more than 160 British politicians have requested the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to boycott the Champions Trophy cricket match against Afghanistan. These leaders believe that the ECB should raise its voice against the repression of women’s rights by the Taliban regime. Apart from this, boycott the England vs Pakistan match. The teams of England and Pakistan will face each other in Lahore on 26 February.
What did England and Wales Cricket say?
However, England and Wales Cricket’s reply has come on this. England and Wales Cricket has rejected this demand. In this way, the match between England and Afghanistan will be played on 26 February. Although England and Wales Cricket strongly criticized the Taliban’s law against women, they made it clear that it would have no impact on the match. Let us tell you that before this, Labor MP Tonia Antoniazzi wrote a letter to the ECB. Which had the signatures of MPs from the House of Commons and the House of Lords, including Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn.
‘Women and girls in Afghanistan under Taliban…’
This is stated in the letter addressed to Richard Gould, Chief Executive of England and Wales Cricket. We urge the players and officials of the England men’s team to speak out against the ill-treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan under the Taliban. The letter further said that we also urge the ECB to consider a boycott of the upcoming match against Afghanistan to send a clear signal that such misconduct will not be tolerated. At the same time, we must stand up against gender discrimination and we urge the ECB to send a strong message of solidarity and hope to the women and girls of Afghanistan.
