    Afghanistan Test match in doubt over Taliban ban on women in sport, says CA
    The historic first Test match between Australia and Afghanistan would
    not be hosted in this country if the Taliban supports a ban on women
    playing sport, according to Cricket Australia.

    As your Subject line implies, the only people this is really likely to
