UK politicians urge England to boycott Afghanistan at Champions Trophy

UK politicians urge England to boycott Afghanistan at Champions Trophy

England’s cricket board proposes an ‘ICC-wide’ response against Afghanistan over the Taliban’s crackdown on women in response to the MPs’ letter.

A group of British politicians has urged England to boycott their ICC Champions Trophy cricket match against Afghanistan next month, saying the country’s cricket officials need to take a stand against the Taliban’s crackdown on women.

A letter signed by more than 160 MPs on Monday called for England’s players and officials to speak out against the treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan.

“We also urge the ECB to consider a boycott of the upcoming match against Afghanistan in the ICC Champions Trophy Group stage on February 26 to send a clear signal that such grotesque abuses will not be tolerated,” the letter added.

Penned by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi and signed by a cross-party group from the House of Commons and House of Lords including Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn, it raises the “insidious dystopia” unfolding in Afghanistan.

Since its return to power in 2021, the Taliban has clamped down on the rights of women and girls, restricting their access to education and work, curbing their freedom of movement, and forcing them to cover their faces and bodies.
