Taliban Demanded Changes In Afghanistan National Anthem As Well As Replace The National Flag

By IANS News November 07, 2021 • 15:55 PM View: 1940

The national cricket team of Afghanistan is quite lucky to participate in the ongoing T20 World Cup in the UAE. Next time, the 11-member squad may not be able to compete in such a high-profile event because the International Cricket Council (ICC) is yet to decide whether to suspend the Afghan team's membership or let them play, TRT World reported.

The ICC - the global governing body for cricket - does not recognise the Taliban as a legitimate ruling force in Afghanistan.
