Australia Withdraw From Men's ODI Series Against Afghanistan In March

By IANS News January 12, 2023 • 12:38 PM View: 789

Australia has decided to withdraw from their three-match ODI series against Afghanistan men scheduled to be played in March 2023 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the Taliban government's restrictions on women's sports and outdoor activities in their country.

Cricket Australia had earlier announced that it was reconsidering the decision to play Afghanistan in the ODI series after the Taliban captured power in the country last year.
