Public calls have been escalating for the Proteas cricket team to boycott their ICC Champions Trophy match against the Afghanistan men’s cricket team next month. This, on the basis that the Taliban government in Afghanistan banned women’s sport and disbanded the female cricket team when they came to power in 2021.
JOHANNESBURG: Proteas Men’s white-ball head coach Rob Walter has provided an update on the squad for the upcoming tri-nation One-Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan and New Zealand, scheduled from 08 – 14 February in Lahore and Karachi.
With England already knocked out, Jos Buttler's final game in charge of the ODI team saw his country take on a Proteas side, which has now sealed the remaining semi-final spot from Group B.
