MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia's players support the country's board over its threat to call off a test with Afghanistan if the Taliban regime ban women from playing cricket, white ball captain Aaron Finch said on Wednesday.

Governing body Cricket Australia said it would cancel the Nov. 27 test in Hobart if reports women in the South Asian nation would be banned from playing the game were substantiated.
