This decision of the board is shocking. Because at this time the situation in Afghanistan is very frightening. The extremist organization Taliban has captured the entire country including Kabul. Recently, a video of Kabul Airport surfaced in which people were seen falling from US Army aircraft. So far, many heart-wrenching pictures and videos have come out from Afghanistan. The decision to organize this domestic tournament in such an environment is surprising.
