Nayagarh,(Baghuabarta): Women could still be allowed to play cricket, the chairman of Afghanistan’s Cricket Board has claimed to an Australian broadcaster in an apparent backflip on the Taliban’s hardline stance. Azizullah Fazli said that the governing body would outline how this would happen “very soon”, adding that all 25 of the women’s team remained in Afghanistan and had chosen not to leave on evacuation flights. “We will give you our clear position on how we will allow women to play cricket. Very soon, we will give you good news on how we will proceed,” he told SBS Radio Pashto late Friday, the broadcaster reported on its English-language website.
