Reply to comment by [deleted] in Cricket Australia pull out of Afghanistan ODI series over Taliban restrictions on Women's freedoms. by LexiFloof

So if you don't do the right thing at the first possible instance you should just never do the right thing?

Great logic, the world would be an even more awful place if this were to be the prevailing attitude.

This is only the 3rd time Australia has been scheduled to play Afghanistan since the Taliban took over.

The first time, a single Test match, was cancelled in the immediate aftermath of the Western withdrawal and Taliban takeover.

The second time was in a World Cup, Teams only pull out of WC matches if there is a legitimate security risk. Even Pakistan and India still play their World cup matches, despite the precarious politics between the countries.

This is the third time. A 3 match ODI series to be held in the UAE.

They haven't had very many chances to make this call, and have been pressuring the ICC to make a decision on Afghanistan's future in the sport. The ICC have repeatedly voted to kick the can down the road.
