00:00
A second Australian men's cricket series against Afghanistan in as many years has been postponed
00:08
due to the country's poor record on human rights for women and girls.
00:12
Australia had already cancelled the one-day international series to be played in the United
00:16
Arab Emirates in March 2023 due to a marked deterioration on the treatment of females
00:22
in the country.
00:23
And it was hoped that a three-match series would be given the green light to take place
00:28
in August this year.
00:30
However, it is the third time Australia has refused to play Afghanistan since the Taliban
00:35
regained control of the Asian nation in 2021 and immediately imposed restrictions on female
00:41
participation in sport.
00:43
The government's advice is that conditions for women and girls in Afghanistan are getting
00:48
worse, a statement read.
00:51
For this reason, we have maintained our previous position and will postpone the bilateral series
00:56
against Afghanistan.
