Cricket Australia (CA) says government advice is that conditions for women and girls "are getting worse".

It is the third time Australia has declined to play Afghanistan since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.

A one-off Test match in September 2021 and a three-match men's one-day series in March 2023 were also cancelled.

No I just found it telling that they get to associate with Europe while other countries in the region probably wouldn't

I think it's more a case of the other countries in the region not wanting to associate with Israel.
