Taliban says women to be banned from playing sport
The Taliban will ban women from playing cricket and other sports, a Taliban spokesperson told Australian network SBS on Wednesday, Reuters reported.
Taliban spokesperson Ahmadullah Wasiq said women would not be allowed to play cricket – a popular sport in Afghanistan – or possibly any other sport because it was not needed and their bodies might be exposed.
“They will get exposed and not follow the dress code and Islam does not allow that,” he said.
Australia’s cricket board have said it will scrap a planned test match against the Afghanistan men’s team if the Taliban rulers do not allow women to play the sport, Reuters reported.
