Afghanistan national tv complied and did not broadcast the IPL.  It has been reported that many female athletes have ‘gone into hiding’ since the takeover last month.   Afghan cricketers that were competing in this years Big Bash League may have to rethink their schedules.

Bashir Ahmad Rostamzai after his appointment as the new director of sports in Afghanistan said many sports would not be banned under Taliban regime but avoided any questions relating to women in sport and the view that all women sports would be banned.

This is a pure sports network press release.
