Kolkata/London, Jan 22 (UNI) England's match against Afghanistan at the Champions Trophy next month should go ahead despite calls for a boycott, says captain Jos Buttler.
A cross-party letter, signed by nearly 200 UK politicians, was sent to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) calling for England to refuse to play in response to the Taliban regime's assault on women's rights, according to a BBC report.
Female participation in sport has effectively been outlawed since the Taliban's return to power in 2021.
