The Taliban has quickly moved to halt and roll back progress made by women in Afghanistan and as part of their attack on women’s rights, the radical Islamic group is now banning women from participating in sports, according to reports.
Deputy head of the Taliban’s cultural commission, Ahmadullah Wasiq, announced the new law to the Australian broadcaster SBS.
“I don’t think women will be allowed to play cricket because it is not necessary that women should play cricket,” Wasiq said. “In cricket, they might face a situation where their face and body will not be covered. Islam does not allow women to be seen like this.”
He added that women’s sports were not appropriate or necessary.
“It is the media era, and there will be photos and videos, and then people watch it. Islam and the Islamic Emirate [Afghanistan] do not allow women to play cricket or play the kind of sports where they get exposed.”
The Taliban shaped their interim government and began work on Wednesday. Notably, none of the loyalist officials who shape the government include any women, even after officials promised to build an inclusive government shortly after retaking Afghanistan, according to The Guardian.
Officials from the U.S. Department of State expressed their own concerns about the lack of inclusivity in the official Taliban cabinet, adding that leadership would be held accountable based on its disturbing track record.

It’s hilarious that the WORST thing the Taliban does in the eyes of the left is not include women in things. Never mind killing. Never mind world domination.

Welcome to caveman rule.
Let’s send Rapin Ho to Afghanistan.
Well that’s just not cricket now is it?
Would a burqa really be such a bad fashion accessory in her case? I think not.
Hey! Stop it. The Taliban have changed. They also announced that each and every woman who may have wanted to play sports will still get a participation trophy.
Her head would make a pretty good ball.
Waiting for the Wokesters to condemn the Taliban. 3... 2... 1...
Not even disrespectful women’s soccer teams?
Women play sheep ball? I did not know that.
I can’t believe that in the 21st century, anybody has to share the planet and put up with these backward savages. That also goes for the criminals who run places like North Korea and Cuba.
“Tranny league in the making?”
That’s a good point. Women only have to start identifying as men and the Taliban will let them back onto the field.
Not even Beer Pong? C’mon, man.
Can’t believe I actually agree with the Taliban. Women’s sports are for grooming dykes.
What about transfaggots?
