The growth comes after an image of Afghan cricketers, posing with UN-designated terrorist Sirajuddin Haqqani went viral on social media. In a tweet, human rights activist Saleem Javed shared the image and wrote, “Afghan cricketers are angry over Australian team’s refusal to play with them.”

Sirajuddin Haqqani is a component of the present Taliban authorities in Afghanistan. He is the primary deputy chief of Afghanistan and the appearing inside minister. He leads the Haqqani Network, which is the paramilitary arm of the Taliban.

“The irony is that Australian teams does it so as a protest against Taliban’s ban on girls education/work while Afghan cricketers pose with the perpetrators and an UN-designated terrorist leader,” he additional added.

Javed identified, “If only Afghan men had protested as much against Taliban’s ban on women as they do against Australian cricket team’s refusal to play cricket with a team which was actually nurtured politically and fully ethnicized. Cricket is not more important than women’s basic rights.”

If solely Afghan males had protested as a lot in opposition to Taliban’s ban on ladies as they do in opposition to Australian cricket staff’s refusal to play cricket with a staff which was really nurtured politically and totally ethnicized. Cricket just isn’t extra vital than ladies’s fundamental rights.
