The Afghan cricket team will travel to the UAE under the mutual cooperation agreement signed between the cricket boards of the two nations in November 2022. Afghan superstar and T20 phenom Rashid Khan will lead the team, with the series set to begin on February 16th."We are honored to be part of this partnership and are pleased with the outcome of our recent discussions and negotiations with the Emirates Cricket Board," said Naseeb Khan, CEO of the Afghanistan Cricket Board. 

"Playing this T20I series is the first step in our long-term commitment and we look forward to a continued relationship with ECB," he added.The two cricket boards signed a five-year deal on 27 November under which the Emirates Cricket Board will provide logistical and infrastructure support to the Afghanistan Cricket Board, including hosting their 'home' games.

Rashid Khan threatens to leave BBL after Australia's decision to cancel Afghanistan series

Australia withdrew from the ODI
series against Afghanistan yesterday. Afghanistan's star cricketer and T20I
captain Rashid Khan expresses disappointment with Cricket Australia's (CA)
decision and also threatens to pull out of Australia’s franchise league Big
Bash. 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/rashid-bbl-13_01_2023.jpg">Since the Taliban took control of
Afghanistan, the country has outlawed many things that are outside of Islamic
law. That is why the Taliban government gave instructions to stop women from
playing cricket.
However, Australia canceled the
only Test match last December due to the ban on women's cricket. Now, they canceled
the one-day series also. According to FTP, Australia were scheduled to play a
series against Afghanistan next March. But for now, that is not happening.
Rashid expressed anger at such a decision of Cricket Australia. He says that he
won’t play Big Bash League (BBL) by putting Afghan cricket in an embarrassing
situation.
"I am really disappointed to
hear that Australia have pulled out of the series to play us in March. I take
great pride in representing my country, and we have made great progress on the
world stage. This decision from CA sets us back in that journey. If playing vs
Afghanistan is so uncomfortable for Australia, then I wouldn't want to make
anyone uncomfortable with my presence in the BBL. Therefore, I will be strongly
considering my future in that competition,” Rashid said. 
Rashid plays regularly in BBL. He
played for Adelaide Strikers this year too and left the tournament a few days ago
to play for MI Cape Town in the SA20. &nbsp;

ICC worries as women's cricket stalls in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan

The first-ever Women's U19 World
Cup is going to start in two days. Among the ICC's full member nations, only
Afghanistan are absent from the 16-team tournament. That's not surprising,
though. After the Taliban came to power, women’s cricket activities in
Afghanistan came to a complete halt. After many days of observation, the International
Cricket Council (ICC) finally calls the situation 'concerning'.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/afghanistan-women-12_01_2023.jpg">ICC CEO Geoff Allardice has said
that Afghanistan cricket will be discussed at the next board meeting in March. One
of the conditions for receiving ICC funding and other facilities as a full
member is to keep women's cricket fully active. Currently, Afghanistan are the
only full member country that do not adhere to this condition for women's
cricket.
A women's national team has never
been established in Afghanistan. But it started little by little following the
conditions of ICC. It has completely stopped since the Taliban returned to
power in Afghanistan a year and a half ago.
ICC formed a working committee in
November 2021 to review various realities of Afghan cricket under Taliban rule.
The committee, headed by the agency's deputy chairman Imran Khwaja, also held
discussions with the Taliban government and Afghan board officials. Despite
repeated assurances from the Taliban government that everything will be done
according to the ICC constitution, including supporting women's cricket,
nothing has actually been done.
While steps have been taken to
expand men’s cricket in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, no investment or action has
been taken in women’s cricket. 
Recently, the ICC has shown
concern after the Taliban government stopped higher education for girls in
Afghanistan. ICC CEO Allardice says in a virtual press conference ahead of the
Women's U19 World Cup that they will take the matter seriously.
"Obviously, the recent
developments [banning higher education for girls] in Afghanistan are concerning.
Our board has been monitoring progress since the change of regime. It is a
concern that progress is not being made in Afghanistan and it's something our
board will consider at its next meeting in March. As far as we are aware, there
isn't activity at the moment,” Allardice said.

Australia cancel ODI series against Afghanistan

Cricket Australia (CA) was
already aware of women's cricket in Afghanistan. A year ago they raised their
voice in this regard. This time the country has also canceled the Super League
ODI series against Afghanistan. As a result, Afghanistan will get&nbsp;30 points without
playing. 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-vs-afg-12_01_2023.jpg">Australia is known as a wall in
the cricket world. The country is politically very strong also in the outside
world. 
Afghanistan's new government has
taken over the responsibility of running the country according to Islamic
Sharia law. As a result, women are banned from playing cricket, as it is not
possible for women to play cricket according to Islamic rules. Also, several
guidelines and prohibitions have been issued regarding the observance of the
veil. And CA has opposed this incident greatly in Afghanistan.
"CA is committed to
supporting growing the game for women and men around the world, including in
Afghanistan, and will continue to engage with the Afghanistan Cricket Board in
anticipation of improved conditions for women and girls in the country. We
thank the Australian Government for its support on this matter," the CA
statement read.
Since Australia do not want to
play the ODI Super League series voluntarily, Afghanistan will get 30 points
without playing. Currently, Australia is in fifth place with 120 points and
Afghanistan is in seventh place with 115 points.

Miraz's all-round brilliance helps Barishal to pick up their first win

Fortune Barishal have defeated

of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/miraz-celebrating-wicket-10_01_2023.jpg">Barishal captain Shakib Al Hasan
sent Rangpur Riders to bat after winning the toss. Rangpur lost 3 wickets of
Naim Sheikh, Mahedi Hasan and Sikandar Raza inside the powerplay. But inform Rony
Talukdar was batting fiercely from another end. As a result, even though Rangpur
lost wickets, their run-rate was good.
Rony was heading towards fifty
with Shoaib Malik in the fourth wicket. However, he got out just 10 runs away
from the fifty after the team scored 76 runs. Rony played a good innings of 40
runs from 28 balls.
After that, Shoaib Malik carried
the innings alone. His half-century gave Rangpur a fighting total of 158 runs
in 20 overs losing 7 wickets. Malik was unbeaten on 54 runs off 36 balls with 5
fours and 2 sixes. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Chaturanga de Silva took 2 wickets
each for Rangpur. Besides, Shakib Al Hasan, Ebadot Hossain, and Karim Janat got
1 wicket each.

batting chasing a target of 159 runs. Opener Chaturanga was dismissed in the
first over. Another opener Anamul Haque Bijoy got off to a good start but could
not last long. He scored 15 runs off 11 balls.
Then Ibrahim Zadran and Miraz
made a great partnership of 84 runs for the third wicket pair. Both of them
kept the team's required run rate in control with fluent batting. Miraz got out
after scoring 43 runs off 29 balls but Ibrahim hit the half-century. 
Ibrahim scored 52 runs off 41
balls. Then, Iftikhar Ahmed and Karim Janat passed the rest of the way quite
easily. In the end, they picked up the win with 4 balls in hand. Iftikhar was
unbeaten on 25 runs off 18 balls and Karim Janat was unbeaten on 21 runs off 14
balls. Raza was the bets bowler for Rangpur with 2 wickets.

each backed by Akif Raja with two wickets.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/andre-gous-04_12_2022.jpg">Samp Army had won the toss and
opted to bat. Moeen Ali, fresh from his brilliant knock of an unbeaten 78
against Deccan Gladiators in his last match on Saturday, opened with Andries
Gous. The first boundary of the day was scored by Moeen off the last ball from
David Payne, edging past a diving wicketkeeper Kamran Atta. In the second over,
after Gous hit Peter Hatzoglou’s first delivery for a boundary over extra cover,
Moeen hit the fourth ball for a six over long-off and also the fifth for
another boundary over extra cover. Sixteen runs came off that over.
When Andrew Tye was introduced
for the third over, Moeen hit the first delivery for a six over long-off.&nbsp; Tye struck with the third ball ending Moeen’s
knock by having him caught by D’Souza at deep cover for 23. Gous top edged Tye

over giving away only a boundary to Gous. Adil Rashid was introduced for the
fifth over and Gous lifted Rashid for a straight six. At the half way mark,
Samp Army was 55 for 1.
The sixth over from Fabian Allen
was an eventful one. Karim Janat escaped being caught at long-off off the
second ball. Gous hit the third and fourth ball for sixes, both over long-on.
Gous was at his aggressive best in the seventh over. He hit Rashid for a six to
deep mid-wicket and then picked a&nbsp;
boundary driving through extra cover and also slog swept the fifth
delivery for a six. Nineteen runs came off that over. 
Karim Janat hit the accurate
Hatzoglou for a six over deep mid-wicket in the eight over, but Samp Army
managed only nine runs off that over. In the ninth over Gous hit David Payne
for two consecutive boundaries off the second and third deliveries but fell to
the fourth delivery. While trying to hit across the line, Gous missed Payne’s
delivery and got bowled for 68. His knock off 33 deliveries had six boundaries
and five sixes. 
Tye bowled the last over and
Karim Janat hit the first delivery for a six over mid-wicket. Janat also hit
the fifth delivery for a six over extra cover. Eighteen runs came off the last
over and Samp Army posted 127 for 2 with Karim Janat remaining unbeaten on 27
off 16 balls with three sixes.
Needing to score at over 12 runs
an over, Team Abu Dhabi began their chase with their strike bowlers Fabian
Allen and Adil Rashid opening the batting. Maheesh Theekshana, who bowled the
first over, gave away just five runs. Adil Rashid fell to Bas de Leede to the
fifth ball caught by Moeen Ali at covers for 3. Alishan Sharaful got out to the
next ball caught behind by wicketkeeper Gous. Leede gave away just seven runs
and bagged two wickets too.
The first ball of third over from
Akif Raja to Allen sailed over the long leg fence for a six. The next ball
ended Allen’s stay at the wicket when he hit Akif Raja to De Leede at deep
cover for an easy catch. Allen had scored only 13 runs. De Leede then clean
bowled Amad Butt with the second ball of his second over for a duck. Darwish
Rasooli scored two boundaries off De Leede’s fourth and fifth deliveries. Obus
Pienaar was introduced for the fifth over. He trapped Ali Abi leg before with
the third ball for 2. To make matters worse for Team Abu Dhabi, Kamran Atta got
run out to a fine pick up and throw by Miller to the fifth ball.&nbsp; At the half way mark, Team Abu Dhabi had lost
six wickets for 31 runs.
Samp Army then went for the kill
through Kashif Daud. Next man Darwish Rasool got out clean bowled by Daud for 10.
Daud gave away just one run in that over. Tye hit Pienaar for a six in the
seventh over. Akif Raja struck with the first ball of the eighth over to have
Payne out for 3 caught at deep mid-wicket by De Leede.&nbsp; In the ninth over, Daud clean bowled Hatsoglou
for 2 with the second ball and then had Ethan D’Souza caught behind by Gous for
2 with the fourth ball. Team Abu Dhabi was thus bowled out for a paltry 48
runs.

Since the Taliban retook control of the government in August 2021, international sanctions have made it difficult to get funds into the country.Local media say the ACB can only pay 30% of the salaries of its employees and other workers working in Afghanistan. This is despite all outstanding payments to players and coaches at all levels having been made. 

Based on projected ICC revenue of $2.7 billion, the ICC model for distributing funds said the ACB would receive approximately $40 million during the 2016-2023 commercial rights cycle. But that has been changed to about $4.8 million a year because the ICC's projected revenues have fallen.Most recently, the ICC made a payment of $2.5 to the ACB in July last year. Full members receive ICC payments twice a year, in January and July. 

Unfortunately, since no foreign team visits Afghanistan for bilateral series and the ACB's T20 event, the Shpageeza, is not broadcast outside of Afghanistan, ICC revenue is the ACB's primary source of funding. 

Meanwhile, Afghanistan will take on Pakistan and Bangladesh in warm-up matches before taking on England in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Perth on October 22.

Australia and Afghanistan play in T20Is for the first time in T20 World Cup 2022

Two teams that have played so many T20Is and competed in so many international matches have never faced each other in this format.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/aus-vs-afg-07_10_2022.jpg"> Two groups that have played so many T20Is and participated in so many worldwide video games were by no means opposed within the format. Can you take that into account? As surprising as it sounds, it is also true! Reigning world champions Australia have never faced Afghanistan in the T20Is before and their contest at the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup could become a pre-election match.The two teams first faced each other in an ODI in 2012, playing an ODI match in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Their next two encounters came at the 2015 and 2019 World Cups. Notably, Australia has emerged victorious at all three meetings so far. Interestingly, this will mark the first time ever that Australia and Afghanistan will lock horns in the T20Is and their game is scheduled for November 4th, 2022. 

The 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup is scheduled to begin on October 16, where eight teams will compete in the first round matches, followed by the Super 12 matches starting October 22. Afghanistan and Australia have both confirmed their place in the Super 12 and are in Group 1 alongside England and New Zealand.Afghanistan's last appearance was the 2022 Asia Cup, where they reached the final of the Super 4 stage. The Mohammad Nabi-led side entered the Super Fours in graceful fashion as Afghanistan beat Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to continue maneuvering. However, they could not get a single win after that and postponed the competitions against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India.On the other hand, Australia recently played India in a three-game T20I series but unfortunately lost them 2-1 after winning the first game and losing the next two. They are currently hosting the West Indies for a couple of T20Is before taking on England for a three-game T20I series followed by their warm-up games of the 2022 T20 World Cup.
