Dubai: The Taliban insurgents have warned broadcasters in Afghanistan not to show the ongoing Indian Premier League due to the presence of female audiences and spectators in stadiums.

" Ridiculous: Taliban have banned the broadcasting of Indian Premier League (IPL) in Afghanistan. Taliban have warned that Afghan media outlets should not broadcast the Indian Cricket League due to girls dancing and the presence of female audience and spectators in stadiums," Afghanistani journalist Fawad Aman tweeted.

The Indian Premier League is currently being played in the UAE.

It is the remaining half of the tournament which was not played in India as COVID-19 cases started to rise significantly earlier this year.

So far, two matches of the tournament have been played.
