The Australian government’s push to have Afghanistan removed from cricket’s top tier raises significant questions about the intersection of sports, politics, and human rights. While countries often use sporting relationships to promote diplomatic agendas, it’s essential to remember that sports can also serve as a platform for unity and understanding.
