Damn I forgot this community existed.
Well first of all Afghanistan MUST be stripped of test status. They simply cannot be a full member team without a women's team, its a basic requirement to receive test status that they dk not fulfill.
I know this doesn't help the women, but the best way to threaten them is by hitting their pockets. If they are under pressure of losing money by losing test status I'm sure they'll come to some sort of agreement.
