Just watching his response there again. It's fucking shameful. He's totally passed the buck.
I think the issue here is the tournaments, not the bi-lateral series which I think everyone has gratefully dodged out of, probably, cynically because its a good excuse given the stupidly crowded calendar they all have. But it would be a huge gesture if the ECB just completely boycotted the tournament, not just the match with Afghanistan. Nobody cares what NZ does, but the ECB would make headlines.
