Uproar again over Champions Trophy 2025, after England, now this country protested against Afghanistan

Cricket News Desk. There is not much time left in the ICC Champions Trophy. It is scheduled to begin next month, but there is no sign of the controversy stopping before then. After the confrontation between India and Pakistan over this incident, slogans are now being raised against Afghanistan. First England raised this issue against Afghanistan and now South Africa has also joined it.
The English Parliament has appealed to the country's cricket board not to play against Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy because the country is ruled by the Taliban, which is abusing women and violating their rights. A similar problem has now arisen in South Africa also. South African Sports Minister Gaetan McKenzie has talked about boycotting the match against Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy.

South Africa will play its first match against Afghanistan. McKenzie has appealed to Cricket South Africa to reconsider the match and send a strong message about women's rights. McKenzie wrote, “Cricket South Africa, other cricket boards and the ICC must consider carefully what kind of message the cricket world wants to send to the world, particularly in relation to women's rights. As Sports Minister, “It's not in my hands to take a decision about the match against Afghanistan.” “If that were the case, I wouldn't let this match happen.”

The cricket board replied.
Cricket South Africa, responding to the Sports Minister's appeal, has said that it will act as per ICC instructions in this matter. CSA said, “CSA is against the violation of women's rights and oppression in Afghanistan and believes that women's cricket should also be given equal status. The Champions Trophy is an ICC event and in this case about Afghanistan. It is for the ICC to decide.” ,

After the Taliban occupation of Afghanistan, many restrictions have been imposed on women there, which also includes not playing sports. For this reason, Afghanistan women's cricket team has been banned. England and South Africa have raised their voice against this.
