“They do not exist.”Her countrywoman Manizha Talash was disqualified from this year’s Paris Olympics after unveiling a cape with the message “Free Afghan Women” during the breakdancing events. She was removed from the competition for making a “political protest.”Hamidi has been bombarded with death threats since criticizing Afghanistan's men's cricket team. Li-Lian Ahlskog Hou/CNN“With these three words I spoke with all the world and asked them, please, let’s do some practical action for Afghan women. “They are the Taliban team for me, not the Afghan team,” she said, a similar accusation she has leveled against the Afghan cricket team, calling for Afghan sports teams to be banned from the Olympics, following bans on South Africa during the apartheid era. The term gender apartheid was first used by Afghan women in the late 1990s during the first Taliban regime.

On Friday afternoon, Sneh Zala, 24, waited for celebrities to arrive on the red carpet for the wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of India’s richest man, and Radhika Merchant, a daughter of a fellow business tycoon. The red carpet was set up in a room adorned with lanterns and red and orange garlands and floral arrangements. It’s not every day that Kim and Khloé Kardashian, John Cena and Boris Johnson gather in Mumbai for an Indian wedding. Mr. Zala was one of about 100 media members clamoring next to the red carpet, not a common addition at most weddings. But given the sheer amount of celebrities present, including Bollywood superstars, several members of the Indian cricket team, former prime ministers and billionaire businessmen, and the fabulous Indian clothes on display, a runway seemed in order.

CNN —India’s T20 World Cup-winning cricket team will finally be able to fly home Tuesday after being stuck in Barbados due to Hurricane Beryl, a powerful storm churning through the Caribbean. CNN has reached out to India’s Board of Control for Cricket for comment. The hurricane made landfall on Grenada’s Carriacou Island in the Caribbean Sea on Monday morning, causing extreme damage and one confirmed death. As of early Tuesday, Hurricane Beryl had winds of 165 miles (265 kilometers) per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). India’s T20 World Cup victory – its first since winning the inaugural 2007 edition – sparked emotional celebrations after a year of heartbreak for many of its players, who lost to Australia in the finals of both the ODI Cricket World Cup and World Test Championship.

For a cricket-obsessed nation, where the team are national celebrities and the sport is played everywhere, it has been a long 13-year wait without a World Cup trophy. And it was the manner of India’s victory, as much as the victory itself, that sparked such ecstatic celebrations. But the boys just kept fighting, they kept believing.”Although India emerged as the winners of the men’s T20 World Cup, the USA and Afghanistan also starred in this tournament, announcing themselves on the world stage. The USA, playing in its first ever men’s T20 World Cup, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the sport when it shocked Pakistan with a dramatic Super Over victory in the group stages. Ultimately, Afghanistan was thrashed by an impressive South Africa in the semifinals, exiting the T20 World Cup alongside defending champion England whose often listless tournament came to an end against India in their semifinal.

CNN —Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is increasingly resorting to overtly Islamophobic language during his election campaign, critics and observers say, as he seeks a third straight term governing the world’s most populous nation. It’s coming directly from the prime minister. The BJP did not respond to a request for comment on the rhetoric being used by party leaders during this campaign. The prime minister has set an ambitious target for his alliance to win 400 seats in the country’s Lok Sabha, or lower house of Parliament, in this election.
