Piers Morgan Calls for ECB to Boycott Afghanistan Match

England's cricket team is currently under scrutiny as Piers Morgan, a prominent journalist and presenter, has urged the England and Wales Cricket Board (EC to boycott their upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 group stage match against Afghanistan. Morgan's call for action reflects a desire for England to adopt a stance similar to that of Australia on significant issues, highlighting the ongoing discussions surrounding sportsmanship and political considerations in cricket.

Looking ahead, England is set to embark on a tour of India in 2025, which will feature a series of limited-overs matches. The tour will consist of five T20 Internationals and three One-Day Internationals, with the T20 matches scheduled from January 22 to February 2, 2025, followed by the ODIs from February 6 to February 12, 2025. Jos Buttler will captain the England side in both formats, while Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the T20Is and ODIs, respectively. This series is crucial as it serves as a precursor to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will take place in Pakistan and the UAE.

In the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, England finds itself in Group B alongside Australia, Afghanistan, and South Africa. The tournament is set to run from February 19 to March 9, 2025, and has already sparked controversy, particularly with India scheduled to play its matches in Dubai.

England's performance in the ICC World Test Championship has been hampered by injuries, particularly affecting Test captain Ben Stokes. His recent injury news could have significant implications for England's upcoming Test matches. The team recently faced New Zealand in a Test series, where they encountered challenges, notably with Mitchell Santner's all-round performance giving New Zealand an edge in the Hamilton Test.
