England 'allowed to boycott' controversial Saudi sponsor Aramco at women's T20 World Cup

England women will reportedly be allowed to boycott the player of the match award at next year's T20 World Cup.

The awards are sponsored by the state-owned Saudi Arabian oil company Aramco, who were granted naming rights for all major men's and women's ICC events until the end of 2023 in a deal announced in October.

The Climate Accountability Institute named Aramco as the largest corporate greenhouse gas emitter in 2019, with the company responsible for more than 4% of the world's total emissions since 1965. The company is majority owned by the Saudi government, with the head of their Public Investment Fund and Newcastle United chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan also Aramco's chairman.
