>Israel has an entire basketball league and they have the population of New Jersey.

Phillipines as well, and basketball is pretty huge in many parts of Europe due to the strength of their national teams.
Israel has an entire basketball league and they have the population of New Jersey.

Reply to Cricket Australia pull out of Afghanistan ODI series over Taliban restrictions on Women's freedoms. by LexiFloof
Cricket Australia have pulled out of a 3 match ODI tour in the UAE against the Afghanistan cricket team.
This is the 2nd time Cricket Australia have cancelled bilateral matches against Afghanistan. In 2021 shortly after the Taliban takeover Cricket Australia cancelled a one-off Test match that was to be hosted in Tasmania.
Cricket Australia have been pressuring the ICC (International Cricket Council) to ban or suspend the Afghanistan Cricket Board since the Taliban took over Afghanistan. Concerns have been raised on multiple occasions over the stance of the Taliban on (initially) Women's sports and later Women's rights in general.
It remains to be seen if CA pulling out will cause other national boards to take a stance. The ICC next meet to discuss Afghanistan's future in cricket in March.

I just realized its probably due to China. I heard basketball is huge there and they have 1/6th of the world population.

Ya but you only live in one place. I know a lot more basketball than tennis players but I love somewhere else and I played basketball in university.
Not sure how it’s measured though, or if it even takes the women’s side into account.

Yeah tennis might be bigger in Europe specifically, but in terms of global numbers, the euro basketball fans add to the total number. China and high population SEA countries definitely push basketball into the #2 spot
