Cricket Australia cancels men’s T20 against Afghanistan due to concern over women’s rights

• Australia postpones a second series in as many years
• It comes amid fears conditions under Taliban are getting worse

A second Australian men's cricket series against Afghanistan in as many years has been postponed due to the country's poor record on human rights for women and girls.

Australia had already cancelled a one-day international series to be played in the United Arab Emirates in March 2023 due to a marked deterioration" in the treatment of females in the country.
