What Taliban's ban on IPL means for Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi's cricket future

India TV News  

The broadcast of the 2021 Indian Premier League has reportedly been banned by the Taliban, which formed a new government in Afghanistan earlier this month. "Afghanistan national television will not broadcast the @IPL as usual as it was reportedly banned to live the matches resumed tonight due to possible anti-islam contents, girls dancing & the attendence of barred hair women in the stadiums by Islamic Emirates of the Taliban," he wrote. Afghan Internationals in IPL Star spinner Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi are currently with the Sunrisers Hyderabad camp as they resume their campaign later tonight against Delhi Capitals. Furthermore, the IPL experience of Rashid and Nabi has also been key to Afghanistan's gradual rise in international cricket, as the two have produced a number of match-winning performances across formats for the international side. The future of Rashid and co. remains unconfirmed as Taliban have not banned their players from participating in the tournament yet, but their policies are likely to have significant repurcussions on Afghanistan's exposure in international cricket.
