 To sports news now, the Taliban would ban women from playing cricket and other sports. This is according to a Taliban spokesperson on Wednesday. Taliban spokesman Abdullah Wasik said women would not be allowed to play cricket, a popular sport in Afghanistan, and not any other sport because it was not needed and their bodies might be exposed. According to her, they will get exposed and not follow the dress code and Islam does not allow that. Australia's cricket board has said it will scrap a planned test match against Afghanistan's men's team and that's if the Asian countries' Taliban rulers do not allow women to play the sport.
