Cricket Scotland suspends ties with Afghanistan outside ICC events
Cricket
In Scotland, Cricket Scotland announced on 10 November 2026 that it would halt all cricket-related activities with Afghanistan outside ICC events.
The organisation said the decision was driven by serious concerns about the Taliban's treatment of women and broader human rights issues.
The suspension does not affect ICC tournaments but means no bilateral series will be organised. The policy will be reassessed each year, or following significant progress in women's rights, and the move underscores their dedication to promoting women's involvement in cricket.
