Afghan Women Not Allowed To Play Sports, Would Expose Their Bodies: Taliban

The Taliban have imposed a sports ban on Afghan women saying it would expose their bodies in media, local reports said Wednesday. This comes a day following the announcement of an all-male Taliban cabinet in Afghanistan.

Khaama Press, citing reports, quoted Ahmadullah Wasiq, the deputy head of the fundamentalist group’s Cultural Commission, saying that sports were unnecessary for women of the country. The diktat reportedly also includes a ban on cricket.
