'We've Drawn A Line': CA Defends Stance On Afghanistan After 'hypocrisy' Accusation
Cricket Without Borders XI: Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird has defended the decision to avoid bilateral matches with Afghanistan, responding to accusations of hypocrisy made by outgoing ICC chair Greg Barclay.
Barclay, whose term ended on December 1 with Jay Shah succeeding him, criticised cricket boards for refusing to play against Afghanistan outside of global tournaments during an extensive interview with the UK's Daily Telegraph.
"If you really want to make a political statement, don't play them in a World Cup," Barclay said. "Sure, it might cost you a semi-final place, but principles are principles. It's not about having half a principle."
