I'm not in favor of any kind of ban-politics of ICC in cricket, if any country wants to boycott Afghanistan team due to regime change then they can do this in bilateral level, its their right to do so. However counter argument to your comment would be. What was the South African players fault when they faced a ban from the ICC due to racial tension in their country? What was Zimbabwean cricketer's fault when their government tried to take complete control of their cricket?
Yes Zimbabwe has faced ban from ICC and I dont know what is their fault, surely it was not thr players fault and they are suffering from this. Many of those now become unemployed as cricket was their source of income and they cannot get another job. It is sad to feel that because of these thing players get suffer. Yes a couple of those can play some franchise cricket but what about others
Yes, people who play cricket as their profession can face some really difficult times when their international cricket team gets banned from cricket. I mean it's not like football where if you get banned from international football you can still play for the league and earn quite a lot of money.
