There are several countries which have been trying for a long time to improve their cricket but they are not able to do so. But Afghanistan is a cricket team that has improved so much in a short period of time even the big countries have started thinking of them as a big opponent. Both their batting and bowling have been able to make a significant difference. Now they are lagging behind only for experience but in a few more years they will improve from that position and become known as another cricketing powerhouse country.

There is no doubt that Afghanistan is perhaps the team that has shown the maximum improvement in the last 10 years or so. But that doesn't take away the fact that that are the only test nation without a women's team at this point. ICC stresses a lot on gender equality and for cricket to qualify as an Olympic sport, they need to show that the sport is being played equally among the men as well as the women. Asian boards such as the BCCI and PCB may tolerate this issue, but as we have seen CA has already raised this on the big stage. ECB and CNZ may follow soon. And it will have negative repercussions for the Afghan cricket board.

I think Afghanistan themselves are not going to be very interested in women's cricket. First of all the Afghan people are very religious. And we all know that it is prohibited in Islam that a woman takes part in these types of sports by exposing certain parts of her body.

We have seen a lot of teams having women footballer who plays wearing a hijab. But cricket is a very different game. I don't know if it is possible to play cricket wearing a hijab. And the women in Afghanistan also trust in the process which is, the man is supposed to want to take care of the family and provide for the family. And the women are the ones to give birth and raise children. The way it actually should be. So, I don't know to think that is going to be a very good idea for Afghanistan, especially at this moment.

No, I do not think so. Because, I read somewhere "a strong Muslim is better than a weaker Muslim" just like there is another matter "Get knowledge even if you have to go to China for it" here it's not saying this all just for men it's saying all things equal for men and women but sadly right now Muslims have few groups which are bringing their own theory and trying to work on this which is clearly against the will of Islam it's just bullshit and nothing positive that all sports and education is just for men.

Few months back Afghanistan having soccer and cricket teams with Iran are also having soccer team for the women and few other Muslim countries are also involved in this all because now they are realizing things are not favourable to ban women's from all aspects of life which is good change but sadly these Taliban are never been true face of Islam.

Afghanistan have got good players. Afghanistan mens team have evolved strong and have served as a big competence to most of the countries. The lack of support from the ruling power and the lack of experience have made them loss many matches. With time everything will change and for now Afghanistan is at its very beginning days of constructing the nation. Look at Saudi Arabia, it wasn't that bad as Afghanistan but they were much against equality. Now slowly they have understood the reality and making changes over each and everything.

Afghanistan is a team whose players have trained themselves for cricket as there was and there is no cricket academy and coaching in their country, most of them were trained and played in Pakistan so this is their achievement that now they are competing with the world strongest teams and worlds strongest and experienced players.
Afghanistan have produced amazing cricketers like Rashid Khan, Ghulam Nabi, Ibrahim Zadran ,Najibullah Zadran and many more . Theirs matches are extremely interesting and treat to watch.

If playing cricket by women is prohibited in Islam, then how come Pakistan and Bangladesh are having women's teams? It is up to the Afghanistan cricket board to decide whether they want to allow this sport among the women or not. But if they doesn't allow the women to play cricket then in the end they will lose out. Because women's cricket has grown leaps and bounds during the past few years and the future trajectory also looks bright. Although it is not going to rival the men's game, in the next 5-10 years women's cricket will bring hundreds of millions of USD in revenue all over the world. If the Taliban doesn't want a share of that, then I am fine with their decision.

BTW, Australia has decided to cancel their series against Afghanistan, over Taliban's refusal to allow women play cricket:

Australia’s men’s cricket team has withdrawn from a series of upcoming matches against Afghanistan in protest over the ruling Taliban’s restrictions on women and girls’ education and employment, Cricket Australia (CA) said in a statement Thursday. The teams were scheduled to play three One Day International (ODI) games in the United Arab Emirates in March, but CA decided to cancel the series after “extensive consultation” with “several stakeholders including the Australian government,” the statement said.

And that's what's happening ICC is worried about their financial from BCCI and don't want to upset them ,along with that they can't change venue without any valid and strong reason so they are letting go of this matter and with time something will change and everything will be settled according to BCCI wish.

Of course, ICC is not going to do anything that upsets their “ golden goose”. But if they do change the venue, the cricket fans are going to be furious. So they cannot do that either. I think the plan is not to say anything right now and let them do whatever they are doing on Twitter. And after that, eventually, things will work out and Pakistan will be able to host the Asia cup.

India will also not complain too much about that. This wouldn’t have been happening if there was no hatred between these two countries. We all know that this is happening because of political pressure.

Most chances ICC will be silent in this case and both countries will also not reach on any positive way about this Asia Cup because here I will blame India as doing negative things for the development of the game because they are big, and they have to do things for the better future of the game instead of creating problems because but India's inner politics is mostly based on sentiments needs to be against Pakistan and in recent times this gone on highest level which is good for the ruling party, and they will never give any weak point for damaging their reputation about this all.

Pakistan is currently facing many other issues as well which are needed to be fixed but having not solid policies which is also favourable for the India with this all for me most chances we will have Asia Cup on neutral place and then Pakistan will be also in India for the World Cup because they can't afford to leave this all.

The ICC has raised a concern regarding women's cricket in Afghanistan. As of now, Afghanistan is the only test nation without a women's team. Even associate nations such as Netherlands and Thailand are having strong women's squads and on the other hand Afghanistan despite receiving millions of USD every year in funds from the ICC hasn't managed to come up with one. ICC constitution makes it mandatory for full members and associate members to allow the development of women's cricket. So far the Afghan Cricket Board hasn't taken any steps in this direction.

Few months back there were few signals that Afghani authorities will soften their policies and bring better things for the country and youths of this country but recent development showing nothing happening, and we will have some dilemma for the Afghan cricket because this can cause ban on them or any other problem can happen which could be not good for the country and game because in last few months we have few good exciting players from this country, and they can do better in near future as well.

As in current situation they are not allowing women's for higher education which is surely more important than game I have feeling they will not allow this all and bring any soft policy for the women's cricket and few countries will try to have stick action against this situation which is not good.

I think Afghanistan themselves are not going to be very interested in women's cricket. First of all the Afghan people are very religious. And we all know that it is prohibited in Islam that a woman takes part in these types of sports by exposing certain parts of her body.

It is certainly logical that if the venue is somehow changed and it is outside of Pakistan then there will be a negative reaction towards cricket from the close concerned. Especially the Asian Cricket Council and the International Cricket Council will be criticized. Not only that they will also loss a large number of revenue. If it is possible to keep it in Pakistan through negotiation then cricket organization and the concerned can be benefited.

We have to remember that it has been a long time since we actually got to see Pakistan hosting a tournament. And when everything is going right for Pakistan, at least in terms of hosting tournaments I do not think that it will be a good idea for the authority to move the venue now. It is going to be very bad for Pakistan and ICC will also get a lot of backlash for this.

I hope that ICC will understand that cricket is not in the best of situations right now. Making Pakistan a regular venue for tournaments and bilateral series is only going to make them more revenue. I think ICC also understands that very well. The problem is they are not the ones to oppose, they also have to maintain the will of others.

Right now the government in Afghanistan is causing great difficulties on female education and their activities in country, how will they allow women cricket team to be formed?
Afghanistan is not like old one things have changed alot and don't know why their leaders were never thinking about sports development.

The point is with all this debate and twitter war going on between Jay Shah and Najam Sethi and all discussion of venue ICC is not giving any statement to come this topic once in for all . Rather than that ICC is just sitting silently and observing everything which is causing more and more controversy and chaos.
ICC should just give one statement to confirm the venue of host country and close this topic.

@YinShuiSiYuan why would they issue a statement and upset BCCI, and don’t we all know that they just care about their revenue’s hence they don’t care who’s hosting till it’s earning them lot’s of revenue’s. Furthermore I too believe that Pakistan can’t skip the World Cup, and they’ll bend the knee and settle for a heavy compensation but this will set a really bad precedent for future ICC tournaments.

And that's what's happening ICC is worried about their financial from BCCI and don't want to upset them ,along with that they can't change venue without any valid and strong reason so they are letting go of this matter and with time something will change and everything will be settled according to BCCI wish.

Right now, there are three possibilities for the Asia Cup:

1. The BCCI softens its stand and sends team to Pakistan

2. PCB agrees to hold the Asia Cup at a neutral venue

3. Both BCCI and PCB stands adamant with their respective positions. Asia Cup will be held in Pakistan and the BCCI refuses to send it's team.

Out of these scenarios, either #1 and #2 will be OK. But if it goes to scenario #3, then it is going to be mutually damaging for both the teams as well as the ACC. The boards will lose a large amount in revenues and the impact will be felt during the 2023 ODI World Cup as well.

Even right now things are not clear about any update what will happen, and we are going to have Asia Cup in this year or no because we have usual headache from both sides with Jay Shah is surely not going to have any soft corner for the Pakistan, and they will also try their best to avoid any change of venue for me here we need to have brought few changes with this could be settled for the t20 format with having eight to ten teams which will give good chance to few new countries join here and try to achieve better quality and performance and U-19 competition could be also useful with nearly 10 to 12 teams from Asian countries surely give good improvement and chance to few other countries which want to have better future in this game.

India and Pakistan both are in same group but the bad thing is ODI format is selected for the tournament rather then T20. After seeing too much T20 tournaments it's very difficult to spare whole day for ODI. India is not willing to visit Pakistan, let's see what PCB says about this India boycott. We have Najam Sethi as chairman PCB and he is very much pro Indian.

As there is still adequate time to negotiate, certainly Najam Sethi and Jai Shah, presidents of the cricket boards of the two countries will reach an agreement. Hope that agreement will be good for both of the countries. If there is any change in venue, then UAE may be the desired venue. And if Najam Sethi as the new president is able to build a good relationship with Jai Shah then it can definitely be a big gain for Pakistan cricket.

India and Pakistan never settled on same terms and grounds this is their history , they had plenty of arguments which are carried on generation's after generation's since their independence. Anyways the issue is Asia Cup and Jay Shah and Najam sethi let's just hope Asia Cup will be held in pakistan as planned because cricket Is the most loved and celebrated sport in pakistan and that would be really hurting for their fans if venue will be changed plus reputation of ICC will be also at stake.

Even right now things are not clear about any update what will happen, and we are going to have Asia Cup in this year or no because we have usual headache from both sides with Jay Shah is surely not going to have any soft corner for the Pakistan, and they will also try their best to avoid any change of venue for me here we need to have brought few changes with this could be settled for the t20 format with having eight to ten teams which will give good chance to few new countries join here and try to achieve better quality and performance and U-19 competition could be also useful with nearly 10 to 12 teams from Asian countries surely give good improvement and chance to few other countries which want to have better future in this game.

I still believe that in the end some sort of compromise will be reached between Najam Sethi of the PCB and Jay Shah of the BCCI. Earlier when Rameez Raja was the head of the PCB, the relations between PCB and BCCI were at the lowest point. Rameez was very aggressive, especially in terms of forcing the other teams to play in Pakistan. And he achieved a lot of success with this. If Asia Cup was taken out of Pakistan, it would have dealt a big blow to Rameez. Now Najam Sethi seems to be ready for negotiations. He may settle for having tournament in a neutral venue, given that the PCB gets properly compensated.

@SirLancelot,

If the venue changes from Pakistan to any other country, or even in a neutral host is going to be placed, I think it is going to be very unethical and it is going to be an injustice from the ICC as well. It was decided a long time ago that Pakistan is going to be the host of the Asia cup. And now just because of some complaints from India, it cannot be changed.

And if for some unbelievable reason, it does end up changing, I think we would finally know that the ICC does not care about what actually goes on in cricket. But honestly, I do not think the venue is going to be changed.

The point is with all this debate and twitter war going on between Jay Shah and Najam Sethi and all discussion of venue ICC is not giving any statement to come this topic once in for all . Rather than that ICC is just sitting silently and observing everything which is causing more and more controversy and chaos.
ICC should just give one statement to confirm the venue of host country and close this topic.

@YinShuiSiYuan why would they issue a statement and upset BCCI, and don’t we all know that they just care about their revenue’s hence they don’t care who’s hosting till it’s earning them lot’s of revenue’s. Furthermore I too believe that Pakistan can’t skip the World Cup, and they’ll bend the knee and settle for a heavy compensation but this will set a really bad precedent for future ICC tournaments.

And that's what's happening ICC is worried about their financial from BCCI and don't want to upset them ,along with that they can't change venue without any valid and strong reason so they are letting go of this matter and with time something will change and everything will be settled according to BCCI wish.
