When the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan it forced the nation's female cricketers into exile for fear of their own safety. Many of the Afghan Women's cricket team found refuge in Australia, but they have received no support from the International Cricket Council.

Guardian journalist Raf Nicholson was there, and has covered the story from the beginning. She spoke to Sam Lane and Lehmo on Summer Grandstand.
Alison Mitchell, Clint Wheeldon and Charu Sharma discuss what is next for the International Cricket Council after Geoff Allardice resigned as Chief Executive. He leaves after four years in the role in order to 'pursue other challenges'. Allardice was appointed as Chief Executive in 2021 of the ICC and during his tenure has been involved in major developments including bringing the Men's T20 World Cup to the USA and the creation of the World Test Championship. The decision comes less than two months after India's Jay Shah became Chair and with the Champions Trophy due to get underway next month. The Stumped team discuss his legacy and who may be appointed in the role.Hobart Hurricanes have won their first Big Bash title largely thanks to lifelong Hurricanes fan Mitchell Owen who scored 108 in the final.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma are joined by Zimbabwe's first black cricketer, Henry Olonga, as we ask whether boycotts work in cricket?It's in light of political pressure on England and South Africa to pull out of their matches against Afghanistan's men at next month's ICC Champions Trophy. It's due to the Taliban regime's oppression of women, which includes a ban on playing sport. Olonga, alongside Andy Flower, took a stand against Robert Mugabe's regime by wearing a black armband in the 2003 World Cup game against Namibia. It was to symbolise "the death of democracy" in the country. Henry's been living in exile from Zimbabwe ever since and told the programme the current situation has echoes of 2003 and that the International Cricket Council and international Governments should be the ones making the decision not to play, rather than the players. We also talk to Australia Ashes winner now commentator, Mel Jones, on the role she played on getting many of those women out of the country when the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Mel's also been involved in organising the team's exhibition match which will be played ahead of the opening day of the Women's Ashes Test in Melbourne later this month.Photo: Groundmen hold a large national flag of Afghanistan on the eve of the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup one-day international (ODI) match between India and Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on October 10, 2023.

Rod Tucker is a former Australian cricketer who has seamlessly transitioned into the realm of cricket umpiring at the highest level. Born on August 28, 1964, in Launceston, Tasmania, Tucker developed a passion for cricket from a young age, honing his skills both as a player and later as an umpire. As a cricketer, Tucker was a talented left-handed batsman and a handy left-arm orthodox spinner. He made his first-class debut for Tasmania in the 1985-86 season, representing his state with distinction for over a decade. While his playing career didn't propel him to the upper echelons of international cricket, Tucker's understanding of the game and his astute judgment on the field laid the groundwork for his second innings in cricket - as an umpire. Tucker's transition from player to umpire began in the late 1990s when he decided to pursue a career in officiating. He quickly rose through the ranks, demonstrating a deep understanding of the laws of cricket, impeccable decision-making skills and a calm demeanor on the field. His sharp eye for detail and fairness earned him recognition and he soon found himself officiating in domestic matches. In 2008, Tucker's proficiency as an umpire was rewarded when he was appointed to the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Elite Panel of Umpires, the highest level of umpiring in international cricket. Since then, he has officiated in numerous Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) around the globe, earning respect for his consistency and professionalism. Known for his unflappable nature and ability to handle pressure situations with composure, Tucker has become one of the most respected umpires in the cricketing fraternity. His meticulous approach to decision-making, coupled with his deep love for the game, has made him a trusted figure among players, coaches and fans alike. Off the field, Tucker continues to contribute to the sport through his involvement in umpire education and development programs, passing on his knowledge and experience to the next generation of officials. Rod Tucker's journey from player to ICC Panel umpire is a testament to his passion for cricket and his dedication to upholding the integrity of the game. His exemplary conduct and unwavering commitment to fairness have left an indelible mark on the cricketing world, earning him the admiration and respect of all who have had the privilege of witnessing his work. This episode is full of reflections, insights and stories from the former cricketer, now umpire and also proud father, husband and extremely doting grandfather. Enjoy!

“The utopia of officiating should be that anybody, regardless of gender, can umpire any game”.Sue Redfern is a much-celebrated cricket umpire and former England player. Sue became the youngest ever female to play cricket for England when she started her career at just 16 and went on to represent her country for the next five years, including playing in the 1997 World Cup in India. Having retired from the game and moved away from cricket, Sue came back to work at the ECB and, in 2012, decided to give umpiring a go. Her impact over the following decade has been quite remarkable, and she's now a member of the professional umpire team for domestic cricket in England. She's also an international development panel umpire for the International Cricket Council and has umpired various international matches, including five World Cups. In 2018, Sue was awarded an MBE for her services to women's cricket, and last year, she became the first female to umpire in a men's first-class cricket match in England. I was fascinated to know what it's like to be centre stage at some of the biggest cricket events in the world and how it's possible to retain your focus in a sport that can last hours. We discuss Sue's playing career and where we've seen the biggest changes in the women's game over the past two decades as she reflects on what it was like to umpire a Women's World Cup in 2017, having played in a World Cup 20 years before.Sue talks candidly about how she deals with nerves before the biggest games and shares her thoughts on the disparity in payment for elite female umpires and what needs to change.It's exciting to learn more about the huge growth in women's cricket for those playing and officiating from a woman who's been such a trailblazer in the sport.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Post-Christmas cleanup after wild weather hits Australia's east coast; 119 migrants rescued in the Mediterranean Sea; And in cricket, Usman Khawaja accuses the International Cricket Council of double standards over a dove logo ban.
Usman Khawaja is urging cricket bosses to show more 'consistency' after being charged by the International Cricket Council. Australia's star batter could receive an official reprimand, for wearing a black armband in the first test against Pakistan last week. The issue has overshadowed a campaign launch close to Khawaja's heart.
Usman Khawaja feels unfairly targeted by the International Cricket Council following their demand he refrain from writing statements in support of Palestine on his shoes. The ICC have ruled the opening batter will be fined or banned if he uses the test against Pakistan as a platform to make what they've deemed a political statement. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 229 (Part 1) of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. International cricket's biggest tournament is set to get underway in India on October 5. A blockbuster clash between the 2019 finalists England and New Zealand will kick off the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad that day. The tournament will run for 46 days and will see 10 teams vying for the men's one-day international (ODI) cricket championship in the final on November 19. Here's the ultimate preview you'll need in the lead-up to the World Cup. In this part, we look at Afghanistan, England, India and New Zealand. We have Rishab Vinay Malde joining us for this discussion. The Podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify for Podcasters, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms and spread the word. Check out @neveronthebackfoot on Instagram & Threads and @neverontheback1 on X for the latest facts, trivia, quizzes, and terminology.
The schedule is yet to be finalised. It results in sale of tickets being discussed only in WhatsApp and Telegram groups. With less than two months remaining for the 2023 Men's Cricket World Cup, it looks certain that the International Cricket Council and Board of Control for Cricket in India is on the verge of converting the World Cup into a royal mess. Amidst uncertainly surrounding various aspects in the lead-up to the World Cup, only one thing appears to be certain: we don't care for the fans. Over to 'Saaptahik CCBK'. वेळापत्रक नक्की नाही. त्यामुळे तिकीटविक्रीचा पत्ता नाही. म्हणजे मैदानावर विश्वचषकाचे सामने बघायचा 'प्लॅन' करणं फक्त मनातल्या मनात शक्य आहे. २०२३ च्या क्रिकेट विश्वचषकाशी निगडित विविध बाबींबद्दल अनिश्चितता आहे. ज्या पद्धतीने वर्ल्ड कपचे नियोजन चालू आहे, त्यावरून एकाच गोष्ट निश्चित वाटत आहे, ती म्हणजे क्रिकेट चाहत्यांबद्दल अनास्था. पाहूया 'साप्ताहिक CCBK'.
Is the two-match ban given to India captain Harmanpreet Kaur by the International Cricket Council sufficient? Jim Maxwell doesn't think so. On this week's Stumped, Jim states that her behaviour following her dismissal in a One Day International against Bangladesh brought the game into disrepute and he advocates for a year-long ban in addition to her being stripped of the national team captaincy. Harmanpreet hit her own stumps with her bat after being dismissed and criticised the umpires in the post-match presentation. Australia have retained the men's Ashes after rain decided the outcome of the fourth Test with England. Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Jim discuss whether poor conditions are an inevitability that Test cricket has to put up with, or whether there's a way around it. Plus, we meet England's youngest ever international cricketer. Leanne Davis left exam revision behind to make her debut in an ODI against South Africa in July 2000 as a 15 year old, but she only played once more for her country. 23 years on, she's living in Adelaide working in the non-profit sector, helping young people affected by cancer.

International Cricket Council officials are to head to Pakistan to secure the country's participation in this year's 50-overs World Cup in India which is in doubt for political reasons.
Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2023 is the longest edition on record. It not only records the present state of global cricket but also reflects on the mighty global forces – political, social, commercial, environmental – which shape it. Its editor, Lawrence Booth, analyses its content as the guest of Peter Oborne and Richard Heller in their latest cricket-themed podcast.Lawrence begins by hailing the turnaround in England's Test team under Ben Stokes as captain and Brendon McCullum as coach. Although the England team dislike the term Bazball he thinks it a healthy sign that the general public have adopted it for the enthralling blend of cricket they are playing. The only pity is that they are not seeing it on free-to-air television (a topic regularly ventilated in previous Wisdens) but he still hopes that this summer's Ashes series might raise the profile of cricket as did that of 2005. He comments especially on Ben Stokes' confidence in asking for fast flat wickets in the Ashes series in contrast to the conditions in which England have gained all their home series successes since 2001.Above all, Stokes and McCullum have removed the fear of failure from a previously careworn team. He suggests that Stokes's character has deepened from the crises in his life: his empathy was illustrated by the consoling text he sent to the teenaged aspinner he had hit for 34 in an over. He views Brendon McCullum as the most significant cricketer of the last twenty years, given his innings which ignited the Indian Premier League on its first day and his contribution to the re-invention of Test cricket.A major theme in this year's Wisden is the multiple threat to Test cricket from T20 Leagues which have induced leading players in the world to reduce their commitments to international series or even abandon them. Lawrence believes that it is too late to reverse this process but he hopes that national boards might grow sufficient spine to halt the release of players to new T20 Leagues, particularly that proposed in Saudi Arabia, which would transform the international scene if it secures the best Indian players.Lawrence comments pungently on the role of the International Cricket Council on three major topics covered in the Almanack: Afghan cricket since the Taliban takeover, cricket in Ukraine and the sponsorship deal with Aramco. The ICC has developed a habit of ducking fundamental decisions about the governance of the game and most of the full members are in permanent thrall to the financial and political power of India.Continue reading here: https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/episode-118-world-cricket-and-all-that-shapes-it-covered-by-wisden-editor-lawrence-booth/Get in touch with us by emailing obornehellercricket@outlook.com, we would love to hear from you.

No not the International Cricket Council, rather the International Criminal Court. This court has a very chequered history of almost exclusively convicting African warlords (essentially the only people they can kidnap and subdue). Ultimately, this was done to make peace even less likely. The thought of peace frightens the US very greatly --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prolhistory/message

Imran Khan ha 70 anni e ha guidato il governo pakistano per quasi 4 anni, senza riuscire a concludere il mandato. Prima di lanciarsi in politica, in uno dei Paesi più instabili del continente, Khan è stato tante cose: un rampollo benestante spedito a studiare nel Regno Unito; un sex symbol planetario e playboy chiacchieratissimo sui tabloid inglesi; e anche un filantropo. Ma soprattutto, è stato ed è il più grande giocatore di cricket della storia del Pakistan e tra qualche mese, alle prossime elezioni, proverà a replicare l'impresa: andare alle urne contro l'esercito, contro la classe dirigente storica della politica pakistana e contro gran parte delle cancellerie occidentali, per vincere e cambiare il Paese.

Former Australia captain Belinda Clark joins Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma after a statue was unveiled of her at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the first of any female cricketer in the world. She gives her thoughts on the current state of the women's game, including Meg Lanning's return to the Australia side after a five month break, and the upcoming inaugural women's edition of the Indian Premier League.

We also discuss the news that Australia have withdrawn from their ODI series with Afghanistan, following the Taliban's recent announcement regarding further restrictions on women and girls' education and employment.

The show features an interview with former Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist on his dear friend Shane Warne who died in March 2022. He shares his memories of playing alongside him and what made Warne such a special player and person. Plus we hear from the stand out star of the English Men's Test Summer, Jonny Bairstow.

On this week's episode of Stumped, should cricket care where its funding comes from? The International Cricket Council have announced a partnership with a Saudi state-owned oil company, raising issues of both sustainability and an association with a country that has a poor human rights record.

Season 13, Ep 4: As climate catastrophes worsen by the year, the International Cricket Council has decided to promote the world's biggest oil company as cricket's major sponsor. As a bonus, it's the company that bankrolls the murderous Saudi Arabian government, who are also hunting sportswashing opportunities through English football and their rebel golf tour. This is in the same week as Cricket Australia announces an end to its sponsorship from another major fossil fuel company, while Netball Australia alienates its players by taking the cash from Gina Rinehart's mining empire. Elsewhere this week, the WBBL starts with a bang, and the ultimate cricket veteran, Scyld Berry, joins the show despite never having listened to a podcast.

Michael Beloff QC is often described as ‘the godfather of sports law' and the person who Chambers legal directory said ‘more or less invented sports law' as a discipline. As a result Beloff is one of the most influential people in world sport over the past three decades. He's written a memoir about his life and career in and out of sport. It's called MLBQC and we recommend it highly. Beloff was called to the Bar in 1967 and became a Queen's Counsel in 1981. He's been a Member of the Court of Arbitration for Sport ("CAS") from 1996 and in that capacity has been an arbitrator at the Olympic Games including Ethics Commissioner at London 2012. He has been on the CAS Panel for UEFA and the FIFA World Cup, chairman of the International Cricket Council's Code of Conduct Commission and was elected as one of the judges of the FIA's International Court of Appeal. Every sport has been influenced by Beloff in some way, and so the topic of conversation is broad, ranging from corruption, doping and sports washing to how money changed the role of governing bodies and the people who run them. We talk about the image of lawyers, human rights and whether sport leads or follows society; Nike's Vapor Fly super shoes and his long time friendship with the author and former politician Jeffrey Archer.
