No bilateral cricket series has been played between England and Afghanistan yet and no such series is scheduled, however both teams have been competing regularly in ICC events since the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. .
Richard Gould says in his statement that "We do not currently have any kind of bilateral cricket series scheduled against Afghanistan and I do not think we will schedule any series with Afghanistan."
Richard Gould adds that the ICC says that it cannot interfere in the internal policy of the government. For this reason, certain countries may take a unilateral decision.
He added that we are discussing with other countries at ICC level what can be decided about this. I do not think that the majority of ICC members are in favor of taking any action against Afghanistan.
