Australia Vs Afghanistan News

Cricket Australia has declared the first Test match between Australia and Afghanistan scheduled in late November as postponed. The match was postponed following their stance on women not being allowed to play cricket in Taliban rule but Cricket Australia hopes to play the match in future seasons.

Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO Hamid Shinwari has said in an official statement that the board is powerless to change the culture and religious environment in Afghanistan. The statement comes in reaction to Cricket Australia considering scrapping the one-off Test between the two sides in November.

Cricket Australia have announced the postponement of the Test match against Afghanistan and the three-match ODI series against New Zealand until the 2021-22 season. That meant India are the only country to travel Australia during their summer, with the itinerary yet to be released by the host board.
