ECB Chief Richard Gould rejects calls for England to boycott Champions Trophy match against Afghanistan
England is scheduled to play Afghanistan on February 26 in Lahore, in their second match of the tournament. The call for a boycott follows mounting pressure on the ECB, after receiving a letter from Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, which was signed by over 160 cross-party politicians, including Jeremy Corbyn, Lord Kinnock, and Nigel Farage.
