England won't boycott match against Afghanistan at Champions Trophy: ECB
ECB Chair Richard Thompson said that England won't boycott their match against Afghanistan at Champions Trophy 2025 despite calls to boycott the game in response to Taliban's crackdown on women’s rights. He said, "A co-ordinated international response by cricketing community is the appropriate way forward and will achieve more than any unilateral action by the ECB in boycotting this match."
